Thanks again guys!,

i can't really make out what u are trying to show in those pics, but check your oil if it looks like a chocale mike shake or u see radiator fluid in the oit then u have a blown head gasket

 

Remove your oil cap - there should be milky white crap on it if there is a blown headgasket...

 

A leakdown test is a good way to confirm a blown head gasket.

 

i am just showing the oily mess in my engine and my brown coolant, and then the oil that is on the front of the block.

i guess my biggest worry is can anyone explain why it isn't idleing without killing? if i use the powersteering(i.e. turn) or use any electronics is bogs so my engine is really weak. there is also white smoke that comes out of the exhaust and the exhaust tip is kinda oily.

i just had a thought, is this maybe oil coming from the turbo charger, getting into my charge lines and being blown through the engine?

thanks,
mike

p.s. i am stranded 1.5hrs away from school right now, my car won't start and I don't feel like having to replace the starter in addition to whatever might be causing this.

 

anyone?

Mike

 

with the missing coolant, i'd vote for head gasket.

 

from looking at the pics i would say idle is bad.. prob cuz coolent is getting in your cyl's thats what the white smoke is from too...... chances are its your headgasket....

 

or compression test..
