The car is a 2000 se auto 2.5l (black). The brake noise went away the day before the "incident", but i dont think that the brakes had anything to do with the oil spilling (i doubt it was brake fluid that was leaking since the hoses all seemed fine). The thing that confuses me is why there were huge flames comming out the rear of the car.

My audio equipment, if you can call it that, is just a cd player that i hardwired into the car with proper grounding, thats it (sadly).

The ford guy is comming on friday to do a quick check of it, ill probably get it towed to one of the local shops that i trust the most (or take your advice george).
