Just phoned the AA man. He told me he cant come down, because i only have roadside assistance, and since the fault was done by me, they cant come round. He offered to upgrade me to the home service though, for £100 odd. I told him to fuck off :o | |

Liquid out of the exhaust can only be petrol or condensation unless something is very wrong. Unless the car is running badly I wouldn't worry too much except possibly inform your dealer so if it does go pop you've covered yourself by giving them the opportunity to inspect it. | |

Oil is a simple problem, but make sure you've got a tub or something below it ;) | |

I asked my dad, and he said just unscrew the cap a small ammount so it trickles out, but dont take it off, or it'll all just dump out. Sounds like an easy job, but stuff like this always gets me stumped, cos im not that smart :boggle: | |

It can't do any harm to just change the oil and put the proper amount in. BUt it IS possible if you're careful with the sump plug to drain a bit out. | |

I got some oil from the petrol station, and when i came home, my mate put it in, as i spilled a bit over the engine, and wanted to get it cleaned up poste-haste, so i ran inside to get a rag. I come out and he said "ive put in half the bottle.... is that good" | |

The oil sump, you can drain a bit out, but if you're doing that you might as well change the oil. Unless of course you've just changed it... | |

Right, to cut a long story short, for some reason i started my car today, and water/something flooded out of the exhaust. I didnt think nothing of it at first, as all cars do this, due to condensation and what not. But when i revved mine, it sprayed out (as if it was being sick) and left a big puddle in the road. I revved it 5/6 times and the same thing happened. It slowly turned into a small drip, but to be fair i hadnt had the car started all that long. Whats this due to? Its a 2003 Corsa C 1.2 16v |
