I'm stumped
alright... this morning i started my car up and drove it to the dealership to check on a few parts. when i came back out and started the car it turned over once and made a sound like when you accidentally try to start the car when it's already on(grinding the starter)and it shut off. i then tried to start the car again and it started right up. i sat there for a minute wondering what had just happened and i heard a noise. i got out and it sounded like a ticking from the engine bay. i immediately though it was rod knock and shut the car off and checked the oil. to my surprize it was in the middle of the operating range. i then took the car to a local shop and asked them what they thought was wrong with it. they said it could be anything from an exhaust leak to a transmission problem. i told them shifting into the gears has been a tougher lately but not really that noticable. the're gonna look at it next week but i wanted to know what you guys might think is wrong with it.

i dont know i'm now leaning towards an exhaust leak b/c i capped up my cutout and the extra pressure caused some fluid to spray out of a weld at one of my back O2's. there might be another one somewhere else i'll just have to keep looking.

Was it synthetic blinker fluid?
