just bought a used 95 corolla dx wagon, 67 k miles
need some diagnosis help:
---we've noticed the smell, burning oil? when driving, etc, no smoke or otherwise from the hood or exhaust. just got oil change and jiffy lube said the engine was 'wet' and to get it checked out sometime as there might be leaks. oil was pretty low when changed.
---20 miles/gallon on last refill, city driving and using AC.
---noticed a high pitched squealing (loud but not deafening) one time first couple minutes or so after starting up and driving slow. could be a belt? timing belt was recently replaced along w/ water pump, struts, 2 tires, air filter.
---could be more than 1 problem.... please advise? i am guessing need to check seals of engine (hopefully not a huge problem, not too costly? my wife said her old toyo had the seals fixed up for 150 $ or so..), and maybe needs a tune up (re: mileage?).
---also, our AC is running "modeately cool" only, could need a recharge?
any other suggestions?
please email james_y snipped-for-privacy@juno.com with suggestions/advice thanks, james
