Q: Oil leaking everywhere after Manifold replacement

asked by on November 05, 2017

I recently had my manifold replaced. I know it was difficult as there was a bolt that rrally gave them trouble. It was broken off. After getting the car and driving approx 20 miles I noticed it smoking. I opened the hood and there was smoke near the manifold. I looked under the jeep and there is oil everywhere. It did not have this issue before taking it to the shop.

My car has 130000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Hi there. From the description you have provided, leads me to believe the slow and no crank may be, a battery (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/battery-replacement) and/or battery connection (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/service-battery-cables) issue.
