Question
Recently my ABS light has come on and my Tracks off light on the dash board has started coming on and off. I was driving down the hiway and some sort of oil started spitting out driectly under the car where the dash is causing a stream of smoke behind me that smeeled really bad. The oil that spit out was jet black. The car could be driven still but made a high pitched whinning sound as we accelerated and whinned down when decreasing. What could this be?  

Answer
Jean,
The ABS light and the tracs light mean there is a fault code in that system that will need to be read and repaired. More than likely the control unit will need to be replaced, a common repair, a weak point.
For the oil leak you need to get under the car and then start it and fine the are that the oil is leaking from. Possibly a cooler line or leaky seal. Have that checked right away so further damage does not happen.
