I decided to treat my spit like royalty today.  I changed the oil, fixed 
some of it's wiring problems and replaced some of it's filters.  I even 
decided to give it a nice wash and wax, and how does it repay me......it 
catches on fire!  I noticed all afternoon that it had been burning oil, 
from oil leaking onto the outer surface of the engine.  Nothing serious 
just annoying.  After waxing the car I turned it back on and noticed smoke 
coming from the vents on the hood..the vents that are on the outside of the 
windscreen and have openings in the bonnet.  I couldn't actually see the 
flames but I could smell them and see the flickering shadows as I looked 
down into the vent.  Two questions....what is this vent for and what could 
have caused the initial flames or tinder?
