  1. Pull the oil dipstick and look for “cream”. Also the oil filler cap, if it has one, on the valve cover. If the oil has a lot of brown cream, get it changed asap and maybe don’t run it.
  2. You may have to spray rinse the wheel well if junk gets stuck in there and pull out any trash. see if belts or radiator or as mentioned earlier an oil cooler are exposed on that side.
  3. It is called a wheel well liner. as long as you are driving on paved roads, the risk should be low. If you are on gravel or unpaved roads or like to do donuts in parking lots, you risk throwing rocks and loose road junk into the radiator, hoses, or belts which might cause damage. So take it easy and stay on paved areas and don’t drive fast where there is gravel and bits on the road.
  4. Ok. the high current will tend to flow on the outside skin of the car along paths of lowest resistance after it connects to the upward reaching ground leader from the area near the top of the car. Not always perfect though. Better than using your body by sitting outside the car though. the high current will also arc across or heat to the point of autoignition at any high resistance points in the path. So starting a fire under the hood or where there are plastics is likely. Possibly a dead short of the starter battery.
