only a DSM
 

So I was driving in Superior Wisconsin on the way to an MNSC meeting in Canal Park, and upon arriving my friends house, my car started to smoke like crazy and sure enough it was on fire, the fire retardant protector thing under the hood started on fire and no damage was done except a small paint rupture due to the heat. Like I said, only in a Dsm would this happen, I am just thankfull none of the bay was even chared, so everyone make sure to check that pad under your hood if you have it from time to time so this doesn't happen

I'm guessing it got soaked in oil from the dipstick popping out?

Re: only a DSM
 

the source of the oil was under the exhaust manifold on the right side, I made it so my dipstick doesn't come out, but that's what I thought at first, and I don't think it's my head hasket becuase I think I'd be losing coolant also, but once again we will find the gremlins :)
