I did not know that my oil was leaking from the engine. I drove about 10 miles from my house when the check engine light came on. Then all of the sudden I heard a loud screaching noise, kind of like tires skidding, and then my car shut off. There was no smoke, or oil dripping/splattered. When I tried starting the lights dimmed and it made the same buzz noise it makes when the battery is dead. Once jumping the car and trying a different battery didnt work, and concluding the alternator was fine, we saw there was no oil.
My question is what is most likely the part that I need to look at and fix. I dont know much about engines, but I'm very good at figuring stuff out and fixing it, I just need a little help. No way in hell I'm wasting my time with a shop. If i cant get it i'll just junk it. Im thinking the reason the engine isnt making any noise when I try to start it is that something must of snapped and is probably jammed. Any ideas?
