The vehicle has been burning oil so I've been having to add oil to it, about a quart every 300 miles but had otherwise been running fine. The other night I was on the freeway and the check engine light started flashing, I pulled over and found that the oil level was a little over ( I overfilled it but had read that it wouldn't be too bad) but there is fluid on the engine and it looks like a line of fluid sprayed on the hood. I had the vehicle towed home, I started it up and the engine seems really bogged down. I am not very technically inclined but I'm thinking there might be a problem with a hose but I couldn't find anything with visual inspection. Would really appreciate some advice.

Either was 300 miles / quart is real trouble for an engine and if you've owned it since it was fine why did you wait at all to find out the source? Take a paper towel and see if tail pipe is a mess very damning for the engine so worn no doubt no emission controls are going to take that so it probably has run like crap much to long. I'd find out what a salvage value is of the thing and think about giving up on. NO harm to have it inspected to be sure but probably game over for this vehicle, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 1, 2016, 4:30 PM Post #3 of 3 (1961 views) Re: 2002 Toyota Sienna Engine Light flashing, fluid under hood Sign In I don't think the oil level had anything to do with the check engine light flashing. That only happens when the engine has a severe misfire. Now that fluid could have been coolant and that could have gotten into the plugs but that is just speculation. It needs to be checked by a professional. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
