Well, I've been trying to unsubscribe for weeks now without success and it now appears the vanagods were hindering me for a reason. Here's the problem:

I was cruising to work this morning, doing about 40mph and all of a sudden I lost all power. Looked in rearview mirror to see billowing white smoke. Coolant light flashing. I turned it off immediately and there was oil dripping everywhere and the coolant level was way down. Pulled out dipstick to find a milkshake-like combination of oil/antifreeze.

Can anyone give me an idea as to what has happened and a possible remedy?

Please send replies to my personal mail box in case I'm magically unsubscribed.

Thank you, Patrick ___________________________________________________
