89 535, It got really hot REALLY fast and vomited a few quarts of oil onto the pavement. But I dealt with my coolant problem and it runs like a dream. Not a stutter or anything, oil pressure/level good and everything. What's up?!? Should I be worried about my head gasket/engine? Compression test needed? Whadda ya think fellas.

A little more detail needed....you sure it's not tranny fluid from an auto tranny?

could it be tranny fluid? I guess I might not have inspected it close enoungh, but I'm pretty sure it was oil. It WAS from the back of the engine. I had just recently changed two of my pully belts, and figured out the my bottom passenger side cylinder bearing from whick the crank pulley connects to(air conditioner i think) is out. So I was driving without that belt on. That wouldn't be the cause, would it? Heck, I dunno, I guess should wait to cry until I get the new radiator in at least.
