I'm sad to admit, that i brought my car in for an oil change last week, but only because i was out of town and needed one.

But wouldn't you know it, the one thing i bring my car into the shop for, they f*** up!

Basically after i had that done i drove the car home the next day and put about a 1000 kilometers on it, (long trip) and i've driven it too and from work this week and i got thinking that i should check the oil because i know it leaks oil and i thought i'd be getting low. I was kinda pissed off though so i punched it and revved it right to 7 grand but when i shifted i noticed black smoke out the back end, so i slowed down and repeated it to make sure it was me, and same thing.

Got back and checked the oil, and the damned thing was overfilled! After a 1000 km! When i know it leaks!

What am i looking at for potential damage from this? Because i don't think i've ever gotten black smoke out the pipe from my MR2 ever.

What do you guys think the shop will say when i call them to bitch?
