Possible major oil leak.
Possible major oil leak.
So about a week a go my oil pressure gauge started going crazy at random times. Just flicking up and down randomly and I decided to do an oil and filter change. When I went down and drained the oil there was very little oil. Literally less than a quart. So I put more oil and changed the filter. About three days or 4 days later I checked my fluids again because the oil pressure gauge was doing the same thing. I pulled my dip stick and it was bone dry again. Anyone know any possible problems. There is no oil pool underneath the vehicle. I got underneath the veichke and realized a small leak from the rear main seal but it looked moist and not enough to drain all my oil. Any ideas?
Yea I know my rear main seal is leaking I will check again there is never a puddle under the veichle. I put a quart in yesterday and did not drive it. I checked again today and it was at the same level.
If it's losing that much oil from a leak, it should be an obvious leak when it's just idling, more so if you rev it up a bit for half minute or so. Take a peak at your oil pressure sensor/sender on the engine, they can leak a lot when they fail and still give a reading.
