if its who I think it is... he took the car in to a dealer they told him a head gasket... lol
full motor build... I said no way.... its coming from the top....
I recommended taking it to another place... often oil travels and ends up in places that are 2 feet away....

If it is Pentosin, your friend shouldn't drive the car again until it is fixed. Pentosin is highly flammable.

I didn't realize Pentosin chf 11s is very flammable. I have a can in the garage and just for grins I spilled a little on my driveway (in a safe place) and tried to see if I could make it ignite with a lighter but got absolutely nothing even with the flame in direct contact with a puddle of this fluid. Hmmmm.........
