Sure just don't drive it if possible before you find your leak, running it in the driveway should be ok.

My coolant seems to have been at the same level the last two days while i haven't drove it.

Had my cluster repaired and this awesome man took a look, said it waa just oil burning, said it's leaking out of my.cover gasket I believe it was, said I need to replace the cover gasket (if he did say cover) and should replace intake gasket at the same time since it's right there.

Told me it's safe to drive and it will smoke until I burn off the oil that was leaking and sitting there at the front of my engine.

Does this sound accurate to you guys ?

Man..... So now it got worse....

Went to go drive and my car wouldn't start. Then it started acting haywire.

The guy repaired my cluster, started up fine afterward, he looked at the smoke, said I could drive it and what he thiught it was causing the smoke, 40 minutes later it won't start, acting haywire, windows won't roll up and down unless the key is sitting just right it seems.

Message center has new messages it didn't have before, "service traction system", and "service soon"

Any help i would greatly appreciate it...

Thought I could finally drive again...

Check the battery connections and see if they are tight. Grab the cable by the battery and see if it moves , any movement means a bad connection and could be part of the problem.Good luck
