Did it drop any fluids...oil...coolant? Did the bodyshop drive the car? If so, can you tell how many miles?

I've worked with the body shop a couple of times in the past and they are good and honest people. I highly doubt they did anything; I didn't record the mileage before I dropped it off to them. I even called them to ask, and the owner assured me nobody drove it unnecessarily. The car seemed to run fine right up point of meltdown. No leaks, no overheating, nothing. If anything it maybe seemed like it lacked a little power lately, but that may be in my head. I have an extended 7 yr warranty so hopefully any and all cost will be coverered. Something definately let loose in the engine, so I'm expecting the worst
