Everything has been fine since my installing a good motor until last Saturday when I start the car after having lunch and within 200 feet all the oil was all over the road.
It's coming from the oil cooler area (93 Touring) but I've inspected every connection, the oil cooler, and all the lines. I can't find a leak or a cut anywhere.
What could have caused all the oil to be forced out so quickly? Shouldn't the culprit be obvious?
Help?

 

Sounds like a lovely mess.

Are you sure you have the oil cooler line connections snapped in all the way?

 

Sure looks that way. Take it all off, re-install, fill up with oil, try again?

 

Forgetting to put that lil clip on the lines can cause this mess... Though I don't doubt that you forgot them.

The only thing for you to do is take it apart. If I were there I would not mind working on your car but this mess is gonna be all on your hands (no pun intended).

 

up

 

Clean it up; put the car on jackstands; start it up and see if you notice anything leaking.

 

Kerosene makes a great cleaning agent to get all the oil off without harming the paint.....don't ask how I know.

 

i smell insurance fraud

 

Nothing so sinister as that...I just have had some oil spraying adventures in the ol' FD, that's all.

 

brake cleaner works wonders

 

Yeah, but it'll eat up some plastics and rubber... Try the kerosene or a mild degreaser.

 

ah ha.^^
