im about to buy a 94 camaro from a friend of mine. hes selling it to mee for a real good price but there is a problem with it. from what he told me its a broken oil gasket or oil pan....i cant remember forsure but i think its the oil gasket. the car starts up and runs but will cut off after a while

if it is the oil gasket will that cause the car to cut off after it runs for a while? if it isnt that what else could it be? how can i find out exactially whats wrong with the car?

also i noticed oil in the driveway and in the grass where the car was sitting

thanks

 

maybe it dies cause it doesnt have any oil pressure, which is very bad. I dont know.

 

yeah im hoping thats it. cause if it is then it should be a simple fix because he hasnt drove the car after the oil gasket got cracked. i know low oil pressure can cause engine problems and the car hasnt really been ran or started up since the problem occured

can anyone think of anything else

 

No, we need more info to help you out.

What oil gasket?

See, internet guessing = tough.

 

from what i was told it was on the engine.
can anyone think of anything else it could be and would the oil gasket on the engine make it do this
