Even though he explained it to me, all I heard was the expensive price, which is not in my budget right now.  Am I doing any damage to the car if I drive her this way.  I always check the oil and fill it when needed.  Is there a cheaper temporary fix?



Hard to say how much additional damage you might be doing by driving
it further, but unless I was being chased by zombies, I wouldn't.  At
best, you'd run the risk of being stranded somewhere when the rest of
it quits...at worst, you would destroy whatever is left that's still
good right now.
