Best Answer

When an engine seizes, it will most likely begin to overheat first, then begin to make a loud, clunking noise. Oil will begin to pour out from underneath if it throws a piston rod. If it is an automatic, it will coast to a stop. If a manual transmission, it will begin to jerk and hop along, finally coming to a stop. The brakes and steering will continue to work as usual.
