240sx oil leak

Answer 1

Have 91 Nissan 240sx. I'm so frustrated, this car used to run so beautifully and oh boy she's fun to drive, but now it's just one problem after another after taking her to get fixed.

At first had a problem with the car misfiring and white smoke coming from exhaust. Took it to the repair shop where she was diagnosed with a bad fuel injector. Had the fuel injector replaced along with replacing the spark plugs, wires (which had melted from the engine shaking so bad due to the injector), distributor, router, all that stuff - full tune up. Then all hell broke loose on this car. The car started having the same problem, so I took it back to the shop and another fuel injector was the problem. So then I have all of the fuel injectors replaced. After the mechanics had replaced them all and started her up, she kept blowing O rings. They fixed those. After that, the mechanics couldn't get her to start. Well, in goes a new starter. By the way, that new starter grinds half of the time when I start her up. After that, the battery cable went bad and I had to replace it.

All of that said, we have yet another problem. She has begun to leak oil - lots of it. I can't tell where it is leaking from, but I do know it's leaking all over the place underneath the motor and there is oil coming from the muffler when she starts up (head gasket maybe?). Also spuratically getting a really bad shake while driving, have to slow down and let go of the steering wheel to make it stop or else it just gets worse.

I'm not ready to give up on her yet, though. I've already spent $1,500 fixing the problems listed above which is probably stupid. The question is - Is it worth fixing whatever is wrong with it now or should I just get a new motor for her?
