thanks for the suggestion....

hmm dunno if u miss that i had it in the dealer last week, becuase the 5th cylinder was misfiring, and that they did do a test on the car, cause i mention to then that loud noise, and the oil was there when i took it in, so if the condition as bad as u describe, would they have told me to fix it? cause all they told me was ..."replace that only coil for 300 sumthing odd dollars...or replace all the coils for 800sumthing...but with 300 and somthing ur pretty good to go until the others go bad, and as for the rattling sound, its the pre-cat"....then he mention nothing of the oil leak, so thats when i got to think its just something regular from a 6 yr old car with 160,000km on it....

thanks!!
