Angry Ok. this is getting Ridiculous!!!!!

I have had numerous problems with my car in the last few months,just when I think they are fixed another problem arises.I tried to start my car this morning and it acted like the battery was dead.It would turn over a little but not all the way. I get my wifes cables and junp it off,it makes a loud knocking noise,then I see all my OIL start to roll out from under my car. What is the cause of this?Does anyone have an idea?Thanks

I can't really tell.It looks like it's around the oil pan.I thought that I had a pump going bad,but I don't think that it would cause this?

If you have an oil cooler, it might have been one of the metal lines. I had an s-10 that did this. It was sittin in my driveway and i got in and gave it a little rev and all i heard was POP. Looked underneath the car and oil was running down my driveway. Thought I was screwed until I found out it was just an oil line that had burst.

It was running fine yesterday when I drove it.It would be nice if it is an oil cooler line.

My mechanic doesn't think it's anything major. He said something about an oil plug.Whatever that is.I'll find out tomorrow.Wish me luck.

The oil plug is the bolt you take out to drain your oil. Probably wasn't tight enough and worked its way loose. That is about as easy as you coulda got off Lucky dog

it's ok... someone will post a pcmforless vs madz28 or a hooker vs pacesetter thread pretty soon and will bump your thread down where no one will see it and it will be lost in cz28 forum history.

unless @$$holes like myself keep replying to your thread and keep bumping it up for everyone to see.
