her car wouldn't start, Dawson ran a<br />
compression test, checked the spark<br />
plugs and noticed moisture on them.<br />
Once he managed to start the car, water<br />
and oil geysered from the engine. That's<br />
when the driver acknowledged pouring<br />
water into the car's oil pump thinking it<br />
