~What year is your car?
~atx or mtx (auto or manuel)

PS no one here is a a**hole, in fact this forum has the nicest most helpful people on any forum i have ever been on. No one was making fun of you. After all it is not everyday that someone comes on here saying that thier is something missing off thier engine and they dont know what happened to it..... becuase that is damn funny..... and you know it!!!! So next time someone makes a comment that you dont like, step back and look at the picture from thier shoes, cause you know everyone but you thinks that is kind of funny. even you friends, and you know they chuckled when you told them.
Dont screw up our forum with your shi**y attitude or we will not help you. And trust me the amount of people on here and the knowlage they have we can help you.

Good luck and i hope we can help you!

To tell you the truth I dont know anything about the car, It's my sisters car and she called me up in need of help. Thats all she told me. Im on many other forums, Maybe I came at it wrong, Its a 2000 neon, automatic. She said she was driving and heard a couple of clunks. When i looked in the engine it appeard there was something gone. Three bolts holes were showing and there was and oil puddle. It looks like it is on the transmission, where there is something missing. She said as soon as she gives it gas it has no power.

i have no idea what was there( if anything) but i just looked on my '01 es and there is nothing there, but just to make sure we are looking at the same spot this area is almost directly under the coolant resivior...but could you have a bad gasket on your valve cover?? just guessing on that one... bc i cannot figure out where this oil would come from..

I have the same thing on my car. Nothin g was ever thier, not sure what would go thier but, With that much oil and all the thngs you described it sounds like you threw a rod, or cracked the head, cracked the head because of the overheating. I would stop driving it period and have it towed to a shop if you dont know much about motors. It really sounds like you threw a rod wand it came out you head.
If ether of thies are the case DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR!!!!!
If i were you I would take i as an gift and put a srt-4 motor in it!!!
Good luck and let us know what you find out!!!
