The car was smelling funny after driving it and it wasn't because I haven't showered or have a severe body odor problem. A quick peek under the hood revealed some engine oil spillage making contact with the hot engine chassis. Highly likely that the gasket is cracked and needs replacing. Looks like the wallet will be stretching its lean streak and yours truly will be on an extended diet of his own bachelor geek chow when the car returns from the workshop. Fasting month is looming on the horizon anyways so it can't be all that bad, can it?
