so im driving down the higway yesterday with the wife and kids, and i hit the brakes, and im not slowing down. so im pretty much pressed as hard as i could to prevent rear ending the canpar truck infront of us. put the escape in neutral and it immediately bounces the tach off the rev limiter. so i get the thing pulled over at the gas station about 3min up the road. and found the plastic cover on the cruise control cable broken, holding the throttle open. disconnected it and went on the way with no cruise (can i order just the cable???)
about 20min later, i get a phone call from friends of ours were were behind us (we were all going to the same place). and he proceeds to tell me my escape is smoking like crazy. i pull over, and i got oil pissing out my front engine cover, and one of the seals on the side and wherever else that i couldnt see cause at this time i was on the side of the 417 in Ottawa.
im off to the shop to clean it all up, and am hoping that a new PCV valve, and perhaps some gaskets will fix it up.
