i dont have any photos right nwo and dont know much about the car..all i know is that when i opened the hood it was covered in oil..it was all on the back side (nearest to the windshield). i also know that it had no coolant in it and that the dipstick was stuck..im thinking about buying the car since it is really cheap..the owner says it starts but i didtn watn to start it since i dont know if it has oil in it or not and i cant check..
i was tryign to see if anyone had any idea where the leak might be coming from to see if its worth buyin the car or not

If you have to ask that question, you aren't ready to own a neglected z32.
