I got a big problem. i went to change my oil, nothing out of the ordinary. After putting new oil and filter in i turned it on like normal and it ran fine for a few minutes. then all of a sudden oil starts leeking from the bottom. it looks like this is coming from my oil pan but its hard to tell. the car didnt make any noises before and i was jsut driving it before i changed the oil. i need some answers fast is this just a seal for my oil pan and a some what quick fix or is it somthing more like a blown seal on the engine or somthing thats going to require me to rebuild the motor and **** me off. i have an 87 gxl with 45k on a rebuild motor with 136k on the rest of the car. HELP ME PLEASE

 

maybe if you put a real title in there... like "oil leak after changing" instead of the lame *** title you used...

You probably didn't get the filter on correctly or all the way down. Did you put the drain plug back in?

 

check the oil filter for double gasket

 

Thanks for the retarded coments. The filter is on tight and plug is back in correctly, trust me thows were the first things i checked. The leak is coming fromt he pan Ive already checked but i can not see if that is the only place its coming from i am current covered in oil and so pissed off i cant see straight so lame coments about titles is not what i want to hear right now. if i wanted to pretty title id be a writer but im not.

 

I would have never guessed.

a: Jack the car up
b: Clean everything up under there
c: Fire the car up and look for where the oil's coming from.

You're not gonna find the leak if everything's covered in dirty oil.

 

Well I could just shut down the thread, since it does not follow the read before posting announcement/rules in big red letters at the top of this section of the forum; that you were supposed to read before posting.

But I figure if you only changed the oil, then the only things wrong would be what you did.

I suppose by coincidence you could have popped a oil cooler hose or something like that, but since you think you might have blown a motor because you have a oil leak, chances are you probably wouldn't know what to look for anyway. I mean if you can't figure out where the oil is pouring from...

 

There was a double gasket but the oil was leaking from both sides of the car i need to go get more oil for the store to see if it is still leaking. if it is a the seal around the pan do i need to the engine out to replace it is seems kind of tight in there.

 

Oil is coming from the pan and i figured the motor wasnt blown. There was a double gasket on the filter and after romoving it and putting more oil into it it still continued to leak. i already had a small leak from the pan is possible from this im of built up pressure and made the leak much worst?

 

Being courteous really does come a long way. Should have listened to Icemark and the others.

+1 on cleaning the area and looking for yourself.

 

I thought the retarded posts were wrong.

You know, I'm just spitballing here, maybe you spilled some oil while pouring it.

Otherwise, the motors toast, sell it.

 

Im sorry for being a dick but im alittle angry right now. im just look for some answers
