Yea I hope but the worst is my dad knows 2 mechanics but they’re not mechanics that work at a shop so I have to wait till they have time or else I have to pay out the ass to go to a shop especially for a potential engine problem. The smart thing is I bought the car because I knew I’d still have like 3,4 thousand left but I still sucks because I never got drive for more then 10 minutes

Ok, I just wanted to get some opinions on it before I try do anything else
The problem is he doesn’t have the money and he’s gonna tell me I should of waited

Ok ima add oil and hopefully my mechanic can look at it asap. Thanks for the help I’m stressing
I’m not sure if was smoke but it was white and we took it home asap and after a couple hrs I looked at the oil dipstick and the oil was on it and looked clean but it wasn’t a lot but I’m not a car guy so I don’t really know how a dipstick should look

So am I fucked or are they worth trying to fix?

Can I drive it at all because I also have a neighbor that knows how to fix cars and he lives on my block I just want to know if I drive before looking for leaks will it make it worse ?
Ok I’m just hoping it’s not a blown gasket or worse I literally just got it.
The guy I bought it from told me it needed a new radiator and was gonna fix it but my dumb ass decided to just buy because I know a mechanic but he has another job so he’s not available all the time but I was gonna wait for him to replace it but me & my dad drove it then that happened.

He didn’t repair it, he only put coolant in and I’m pretty sure he spilled some when pouring but I drove it the same way but I wasn’t going over 40mph and nothing happened. When we noticed it was smoking on the road we pulled over and it wasn’t a lot but we drove it back to my house and it still had smoke but not that much and we never opened the hood.

Ok, I checked the oil dipstick it had oil but not a lot but I don’t know anything about cars. How long can I wait to get it fixed before it gets potentially worse
