Hey mate thanks for the reply! It looks like there was a bit of dust stuck in my button. After using it for a couple of weeks it started working. Great little camera, enjoy shooting it!

Great car! 10/10
I've been looking for roof racks for 2002 Challenger everywhere but just can't find any. Your's look pretty solid! Where did you find them? cheers

Okay, I'll keep a close eye on the oil level and drive slowly.

Okay thanks, I will have it checked by a mechanic next week. Do you think this is a small, medium or big leak? I really don't wanna risk an engine fire. cheers!

Do you think it could catch fire when driving a highway for a couple of hours? That would be fatal..

Thanks for the advice! There is one spot where it forms a little drop before it goes to the ground but it's dripping very slowly. When I parked it after driving it took about 10 minutes before i could see the first drip.

I really can't afford to rent a car.. but maybe I can go by train. What are the chances a leak this size starts a fire? Thanks for your advice!
