2003 Ford Taurus 155K
Car was smoking, smelling like burning oil.
Took to Midas. Head Gasket was leaking oil onto manifold, egr valve, oil pan set, water pump, timing cover gasket. All new wires and plugs. After that was done discovered that my car was leaking anit-freeze. Had to go back and have them fix that.(hose came disconnected). A couple days later noticed the thermos stat wasn't working correctly anymore(they replaced that too) had to bring it back, they told me a story about how some cars thermos stats go up and down when they accelerate and decelerate.( my stat goes to the middle but drops all the time and goes back up. They looked at it and said nothing was wrong. About a month goes by, may car starts reaking like oil again and smoke comes shooting through my ac vents. Had to take back AGAIN. Turns out my oil pan gasket was leaking onto manifold. So they fixed it free of course. Now 2 weeks later after they fixed that, my car continues to reak of burning oil. I understand a couple days after work is done it can still smell. But weeks after? WHAT do i do now? Take my car back to them again? Or have a different place look at it? And find out if midas ****** up again. Because i'm about sick of midas.
Added (1). sry forgot to put that head gasket was replaced
