I get that you're an 03 coupe but you haven't really told us anything. CLEARLY it's obvious what the problem is and clearly it's not a warranty item. You don't have any photos or given us any indication of where it's leaking from- so nobody can even help to ease your mind with it being an easy fix or something horrible and expensive. For all I know your drain plug wiggled free or fell out.

Get a tow to your nearest trusted shop (or dealership if you're constipated).

I mean really dude- your car is broken down. What would you do if it was a 86 accord?

If theres no visible leak under the car check your coolant reservoir for oil in it. And do you remember if smoke was coming out the exhaust?

anywhere is better than dealer, but yeah by the sounds of it, it could be pretty much anything since you're getting smoke too. spark plugs could be a problem in that.

Holy ****- 900? Frick that's a worse laxative than a stealership.

Was the smoke coming from your exhaust or was it just oil leaking onto the exhaust as you were driving? Anyway hope it's something simple. Do you have any good shops around that would take care of you? Maybe someone in here could recommend. Go to your regional forum and shout out if you haven't already.

If you're not a member of the driver facebook group either that might be a good place to get some feedback on a shop that will do it right and NOT ream out your @ss.
