Huge Oil Leak

When im parked its not so big, but this is new, when i turn on the car and rev it a bit, the oil pressure rises, and my oil comes streaming out of a hose. Im pretty sure its the hose that goes into the radiator, but i could be wrong, what else could it be, it looked like it was coming from that area. What a mess.

When you say the hose going into the radiator, you mean the oil cooler correct?

I had a similar issue, but it leaked pretty bad when parked....it even started to wet the left brake and rotor.

The problem was the oil cooler hose started to separate from the end fitting. Arizona heat will work on an '88 like this. Replaced with MazdaTrix braided hoses. worked like a dream and looks pretty sharp and cheaper than OEM. While you're at it, check the oil filter stand. Sometimes the O rings starts to leak as well.

It will just get worse, so fix it ASAP. Good luck.

Yeah losing oil is more than a nuisance. Its plain Bad, only one thing worse than an oil leak is a fuel leak.
