did the car overheat at all? if you shut it down before it overheated there's a chance you've saved the motor
as said above get it to a reputable mechanic, maybe someone who knows these inside out as mentioned in your intro thread

Yeah, I turned the engine off immediately after seeing the temp dial swallow viagra. Had to push it to the curb (1600kg isn't exactly easy).
It sounded like a hose got busted as fluids were all over the show (well, just under my car, really), hence the "splooged" term so adequately used.
Something to worry about is that after towing it up some hills (and having the rope snap a few times), my dad got impatient and drove (not to mention go 80 in a 60 zone) in my car to get it the last 2km home. It started to smoke some more and I was worried it would possibly end up in flames. Worst part of the night.
Might let the car sit for a bit until probation bonus comes in mid-July.
out of boredom, I found this. xD
