Consumer Description

I WAS TRYING TO LOCATE ALL THE POINTS ON MY CAR THAT IS LEAKING OIL AND ANTIFREEZE, AND MY CAR HAS ALWAYS LEAKED MORE OIL ON THE FIREWALL SIDE VALVE COVER. THAT IS THE SIDE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF FIRE STARTED IN FRONT OR BACK OF ENGINE AFTER ITS BURNT? MASS AMOUNT COMES FROM BACK, IT MIGHT BE $700 DOLLARS CHEAPER PER CAR TO SAY IT WAS THE FRONT. I HAVE TO FIX THIS TO PREVENT A FIRE RISK.
