recently i took my vehicle to a mechanic shop to have my heads redone and after returning it to them twice i got it back tonight and they have ran stop leak through the engine coolant ant my oil reservoir smells like there is a gas mixture in it......is this normal? Oil pressure light is coming on and off and they "fixed" this by welding a oil plug in and over a month they have had my car and i am scared to take it back for the third time.......1 month later and 1800 dollars my vehicle is worse than before i took it in and to begin with it only would get slightly hot while at idle but when you accelerated it would go back to normal......now i believe my vehicle is not driveable....considering lawsuit......they told me i had to drive it in its current condition for 500 miles.....i believe that is so the gasket repair they put in can set up.
