Sent to Car Experts January 18 11:43 PM

Hi, I have a 1995 Toyota SR5 pickup truck's, I have been driving in to work and around town and to other far city in California. My car running condition was fine, it run smoothly and accelerate fine whenever i make a stop at red light or stop sign. I recestly was rear-hit by another van the same size as my 4by4 truck. My back bumper of the back of my truck was hit and smash downward and the forces smash my ends ends of the truck. I was badly hurt and injury with back pain. I recenstly recover from the doctor visits. I took my car to a auto shop to rebuilt the back bumper and also to undam the wrizzle side from the accident. It was looking great again in the outside body. But after it, when i took my car back home from the auto shop. I realize in couple of day my car is not in good working condition. There is oil leaking underneath my truck. I check the screw that hold the oil container and also the oil filter all are tiely in place. It seen like the oil must leak from somewhere beside this two spot that have oil in. Also, I experience my truck is not in good running condition. It shake more often now. It shake as I make a stop at red light or stop sign. it shake from the engine area, i can feel it shake and shake. Even when I was driving in highway sometime, I feel it shake. I am very worry, I don't know where to start in such a problem like this. I hope that a car experts will give me answer asap. Thank You...

If this was fixed under an insurance claim,. you need to take the truck back to the shop that fixed it. There could be a number of things going on. The shaking could be from a bad engine/transmission mount, and the oil leak could be from a number of different places as well.

If this has been helpful, please feel free to leave feedback!

I don't think my insurance will be able to help me fix it. Cause it have been a while since i took my car from the auto shop. And the other at faulth insurance doesn't feel is that bad of a damage to my vehicles. It only cover the amount need to fix my back bumper that was rear hit and smash downwards. Please let me know what or where in the engine that it could go wrong.? Thank You and also the oil and it might be leaking from where?

Relist: I still need help.
I believe my insurance clam have paid me in full and the case is close. I won't be able to get any help from the other party that was involved in the accident. Because it have be about almost 3 to 4 months now, when the problem begin to get worst and worst. When i feel my engine shake and keep shaking to the point that i can feel it prefectly good when i drive it and make a full stop or even slow down or accelerated. I want to know what part's inside the engine can actually go wrong or might be damaged from the impact in the rear of the truck bumper. So can specifily go and take a look and fix the problem and also the oil leak. Tell me what might go wrong with the oil leak. thank.........
