So for a few weeks now my car has been dripping small dots of dark coloured fluid. It looks more black than a colour. What is wrong with the engine? The engine is a 2002 Honda 4-cyl.
AND, just last night my engine temp gauge went really high, then after a several minutes of driving it went to normal temp., it stayed normal for most of the drive, then it went high again. For a sense of what the temp gauge was showing, let's say if the H mark = "100", and the C mark = "0"... when I say it went high it was around "85-90". Normally it's around "45".
What's wrong with my engine? Are these two seperate things? Or is the temp issue related to the ongoing leak?
