Hey sorry, was totally real. I had the car fixed and then some personal issues to fix far away from where I live right after. Both turned out ok. Sorry I could not reply sooner. I'm surprised and appreciative this thread got so much attention.
Turns out the oil filter came loose...it has been 2500 miles since the last change, oil pressure apparently blew out a few quarts all underneath the car, looked really messy. The place I had the oil changed at had worked on the car with other repairs, timing belt, fluid changes. I had it towed there and they fixed it for free, and also cleaned it really well.
I wish had my cell to take a pic, a few quarts of oil under the car. Just really ugly scene. This was at a Quiktrip in Phoenix (35th Ave). I just drove it a few miles from my house to that Quiktrip. Fortunately, I live a few miles north of there and just took a city bus home.
Exhaust manifold sounded really loud when I parked it, abnormally loud. I don't know if the sound could have resonated thru the loose filter or if the leak could have escalated somehow and created that problem.
