So I was on the highway earlier and my coolant light came on for about 2 minutes. It went off as soon as I exitted. On my way back, my oil pressure gauge would jump (fast) to nothing (low), then back up to normal. It did that when I stopped the car, and when I started going again (stop lights).
So I brought her home, let her cool down, then I checked the fluids (oil, coolant). The oil doesn't even touch the minimum mark, and the coolant is about 8 inches low.
What are some major causes of this? Also - do they relate in any sort of way, or is it 2 seperate leaks? What I mean is, if the oil gets low, does it automatically make the coolant low, or vice versa.
sick96gt is on his way; he's taking me to the store to get some oil.
sick96gt FTW!!! He doesn't want a repeat, hehe.
