Btw, I assume you checked oil level manually using the dipstick and the level look good? I would hesitate to run the engine much until you get your mechanics opinion.

I added some oil a couple weeks ago because it was about a quart low. i have called for a tow truck. im just going to have the mechanic take a look. im also hesitant to run the engine, so im just going to wait for them to take a look, and hopefully this isn't a major problem.
