Engine Performance problem
1998 Volvo S70 Automatic 130,00 miles
I just had my Head gasket replace and now my check engine light is on which was not on before?? i also have leaky oil spots in the back of the engine which i think is leaking out more when i drive b-cuz not much oil is leaking out when im parked. also after i drive smoke comes out from the back if the engine for about 5 mins. i know there is a leak maybe a bolt is lose? i hired a man off craigslist to replace my head gasket who garented his work with a signed a written warrenty, he told me the check engine light would go off after 100 miles i now drove 100miles and still the engine light is on i now relize i was lied too.
I try call him lots of times with messages, he gave me his address which matched his I.D. but he lives 2 hours away.
i just would like to get some advice im 20 yrs old and this is my first car i know very little about cars. MY QUSTION IS : as for the time being until i could have these oil leaks sealed, is my car okay to drive?, i know i need to check my oil everyday but what about the check engine light do you know why it could be on. also when im driving and i get past 40mph i hear a humming sound i dont know what it is. i know i have transmission fluid. any advice would help. THank you!
