I have seen that before from a bad seal on an oil filter. It was dripping down and blowing everywhere.

 

I had a ford escort that sucked oil down badly, and my jeep had that same problem. Id try and get to an carwash and get the undercariage cleaned, so that you can tell if its still leaking or not. Hopefully NOT!

 

Winston, you are killing me man. Now who was supposed to tighten the oil filler cap bolts ;-) I remember when I took over the fuel rail you said you were going to tighten the oil filler cap, LMAO. And yes, that explains why the oil is not going into the engine.

Tighten all the bolts around the oil filler cap. Wipe off the side of the block and fill it with oil. Watch to see if there are any leaks and start it up and continue to watch for leaks. Also, do you remember the stripped bolt I removed from the head for you? Remove that with a pair of pliers (retainer inside) and take that bolt to Autozone and get a new one. You could also drip oil from that spot since their isn't a bolt there.

I've been bummed the past two days for nothing.

 

For clean up, may I suggest Simple Green (by the gallon for your case) and Brakeleen. Brakeleen is a little pricey, but it turns oil to nothing. It will kill your grass though, so do it on your neighbors lawn when he isnt home

 

well i got around to looking some more and on the driver side engine bay/manifold area is saturated with oil too. not sure where its comming from.

 

Wind on the highway will throw that stuff everywhere. My supercharger return line came loose once and it sprayed oil everywhere. Get those bolts torqued, wipe down your block really good and fill it up. Now we know why your oil pressure was all over the place when you called me yesterday

 

yeah. going to get oil right now, getting a ride from a friend. will post back asap.

 

we have oil pressure boys!!!!!! man theres still so much oil on the manifold its just stupid, im smoking like crazy. tmw i will wipe everything down, and wash it. looks like im in decent shape for now. no oil shooting out while i was idleing, billy reassured me its just residual.

 

Congrats man, I know thats a relief. My dad had almost the same thing happen on his s-10, lost the gasket or o-ring on the oil filter mount, kept losing oil, thought he threw a rod..Cheers!
