Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We bought the car on june 13, 1999 and after two weeks noticed drops of oil in driveway, the problem wasn't very noticeable at first than around 5 weeks after purchasing the vechicle noticed more oil but bigger drops and under the hood oil that had been spraying over the engine. we took the vechicle in on july 28, 1999 to the dealer and the problem was shown to be a cracked gasket cover . the vechile was in the shop for 1 whole week . we picked up the vechicle with the impression that the vechicle was checked over and repaired on aug 4th 1999. on friday two days after picking up our vechicle we noticed oil on the drivewaa y again. today which is saturday august 7, we are losing oil but more as a drip instead of just a ffew drops. under the hood there is a pool of oil around the base of the engine and around the spark plugs. we feel very fraustrated as we thought we purchased a reliable vechicle. on monday august 9, we will be taking the vechicle back in to the dealer. not only has this been a inconvience as we need the vechicle to go to work but we feel we have purchased a lemon.
