Please help me. This is my only means of transportation and I'm in a bind. Car overheating within 10 minutes. Smells like oil from exhaust when it gets real hot. There is no red on the temp gauge but it climbs way up like all the way. I shut car off then continue driving. Whats probably going on? I don't know what to do. Please help...

Check your radiator fans to see if they are coming on. Turn the AC switch on and they should come on immediately. If they are coming on, then you may have a thermostat stuck closed.
