Instead of spending my lunch break eating, I'm now wondering what I just blew in my 2006 Jetta BRM.
I usually get a puff of smoke on startup, but this time it was a bit more. I pulled out on to the road and right after shifting to 2nd, I heard a clunk, for lack of a better term. It's almost the sound you would hear if a large metal object was bouncing around in your hood compartment. Kinda like running over something. Car was shaking moderately and I was able to pull back in at about half-power.
Of course the weather today is awful, so I pulled back into work and popped the hood to find the bottom half of the engine soaked with oil, my antifreeze is draining, and a steady stream of oil is running down from the front/passenger side of my skid plate.
I'm assuming that it's my cylinder head, given the antifreeze issue. I'm wondering if anyone has any obvious diagnoses while I scramble to figure out what the rest of my day looks like. Any and ALL ideas are welcome.
