Hello I'm a newbie, but have a question that I didn't see on any threads.
We have a 2001 ex and have been very pleased with it up until now. While driving home it started to shutter and then slip it gears. I said, oh boy the transmission is finally done after 103,000 miles. But, here's the kicker, we limped it home and I started to check the transmission oil thinking well maybe it's low, not even close it was way over the limit. uh, that's a little strange since we have not added any trany oil in a while.
So just for fun, I checked the engine oil, it's gone!. What! Like it never had oil in it! I checked for any leaks, drips and possible large holes, found nothing.
I filled it with 3 1/2 quarts started it up and ran for about 1/2 hour, it ran fine. No drop in oil volume whatsoever no knocking, rough idle. The only thing that would alert you to something is the "Check engine light is on".
So what the heck is going on here?
Any help would be good
thanks in advance
