i know you have a lot of problems yourself with your car--i would help you if i could, but i honestly don't know that much about the stuff you are talking about. but, i got my oil changed a while ago...it looked and smelled good (by smelling i mean i didn't think any antifreeze was mixed in there) and i had the place flush out my engine too (where the oil goes) just in case there was some antifreeze sticking on the sides or something. anyway, about the spark plugs. worst case scenario, are they just going to start going out if i don't replace them--or will they actually do damage to my engine? thank you. sorry for making another post too--but i think this is more advanced tech personally.

I wouldn't worry about the spark plugs right now.. Just change them when you get the chance.

You got the oil done.. your ok now. Any coolant that did seep past the rings should be gone.

ok thx a lot magnus, i appreciate the help. i think the car is going to be fine--it runs well, isn't running rich anymore, and i the oil got flushed and changed--so all should be good. hopefully the plugs won't give me any probs for a while--if they do, they'll get replaced. they're bosch plat+ 4's and supposed to be pretty good. thx once again...sorry for all the double, triple, quadruple forum posts :rolleyes:

magnus--i looked in my radiator today and it looks as if the level is only slightly lower than full. now i think i realize that i probably didn't lose near as much antifreeze as i once thought. probably what happened is that all of the antifreeze i lost puddled up where we had soaked it up and when i revved the car up...what was left on that area got cooked and caused the smoke. i mean, sure it's possible that inside the cylinders had antifreeze in them...but if they did, it wasn't much, because i'm not missing much antifreeze whatsoever. just thought that i would tell you know...
