Hello! I am a female college student and know nothing about cars but I will try my best. :confused: Ok so here is the deal: I have a 1996 Toyota Camry LE 2.2-liter 4-cylinder. In April, I got into a wreck and we had to replace the battery and the radiator. (This was all done by a reputable mechanic). Well cosmetically my car was not looking too good. So we had to replace the hood. Well when we did that we just opted for the cheap black standard hood. It is now October and for a while it has been leaking oil. Because I am a broke college student I have just been getting oil changes every 3000 miles. My car has over 205,000 miles on it. But I have been getting oil changes on time and when the oil is discolored. Well my mechanic said the reason for the oil leak is occurring under the car is because the oil pan was rusted out. (This was in May). Well now in October, it is spraying and it is very evident with the black hood that is not painted. There is oil all over the hood! It is in little drops and then where the headlights are it is the most severe. It is definitely oil (at first I thought it could be from the radiator) and it looks as if it is rising where the headlights are. Once you left the hood up you can definitely tell that the oil leak is on/around the engine. I was wondering if all this can be cause from the oil pan? And would it be spraying if it was? I was wondering if anyone knew any ideas of what can be causing all of this. I just don't want to get ripped off since I do not have a clue when it comes to vehicles.

what are the steps involved in replacing the ingition switch on the car?
