Consumer Description

A WHILE BACK THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX YEARS 2000 - 2004 IF IM NOT MISTAKEN DUE TO OIL LEAK CAUSING AN ENGINE FIRE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A PRIVATE OWNER AND WAS WONDERING IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN I PUT OIL IN IT IS DOES LEAK ON TO THE GROUND BUT WITH HOW MUCH OIL I PUT IT IN ALREADY DOESNT EXPLAIN WHERE THE REST OF IT WENT, ID SAY ABOUT 5 QUARTS IN A DAY. I JUST DONT WANT TO BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY HAVE THE ENGINE CATCH FIRE IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM.
