Today, I was enjoying a leisurely drive down a back country road in Bakersfield, CA. The drive turned into a 100+ mph tear and I suddenly hit smooth roll in the asphalt, sending my car in the air for about 5 five feet (not up in the air..I'm not that dumb, despite driving that fast). i know this because I saw and heard my revs spike, while feeling the unloaded springs. when I landed, I heard a fatty scrape. After afew hail marys, I got the balls to open the hood. Nothing out of the ordinary under the hood, except some ATF (?) fluid on one top of the engine (bout a teaspoon. I figured the scrape was my front air dam, but I had never seen this fluid before...could this be a result of my debauchery? What would cause it to spill out?
Please help. Has anyone done something like this? I'll try to put a picture in an hour or so.
