New Engine---->Oil Problem

so i just got my new engine put in, picked up the car friday...drove around for a while, stopping at a couple places for an hour or so, and everything seemed fine, so i got home and went to bed, in the morning a noticed a puddle of oil under the car, maybe the size of like 2 cds...i figured it was just access from **** so i drove it and everything was fine again the whole day...park the car on the other side of the garage, go to bed wake up and there is a puddle again...seems lke everything when i stop the car for a while, it leaks, but my oil press. reads around 60 and the oil level says full...what would cause this oil to leak

There are a million places it could be leaking from. Without knowing anything about aproximately where it is coming from, i'd say take it back. You should take it back regardless.

Why are you bothering posting a thread before you've even talked to the shop who did the work?

probably an oil pan leak...if they didn't use the right sealant it's pretty common

the Gotham oil pan brace helps as well
