i ran my car today for about a half hour. it's a stock 7mge i noticed my oil pressure dropped then my whole car was filled with burning oil smoke, shut the car off looked under it, there was a small fire. i parked it, let it cool off turned it over later tonight and i noticed my whole side of the engine that the exhaust is on was caked in oil and on top of the plug wires was filled with anti freeze i got the fire out before alot of stuff was burned out but what was on fire was my manifold, the stuff under the hood and some vaccum lines...any idea what may have caused it to happen and what i should look for? it's just dumping oil out from the bottom of the motor and it's not your normal oil it's sticky and thick, i recently changed the oil and it ran perfect i had it running for most of the day it happened when i moved the car down from the house and i was making my way into the garage when it happened...:1zhelp::1zhelp: any help would be greatly appreciated.

i dont see how i can have it running for an hour the other day and i had it running for like ten minutes yesterday and then it just up and started on fire, there is a nice amount of anti freeze on top of the spark plug area? and there are some melted hoses up on the throttle body..i'll check the oil sending unit and oil filter tomorrow when it's light out thanks for the help if you guys have anything else i should look for let me know.

update. got the car fixed, the oil pressure sensor came loose. and the antifreeze came from one of the hoses on top of the intake manifold. and got that replaced with a high temp steel braded hose. thanks for the help guys. :)
