95' G.A. 2.3l Dohc oil pressure problem

I may have over-revved my 95 Grand Am 4cyl DOHC 16valve engine. 5spd
no oil pressure gauge, no tech. meter, oil level fine, oil in general fine, oil filter looks normal

I was in first gear, then stupidly popped the clutch on wet pavement and it reached close to 60km before i got it under control again.
Afterwards I drove 50 yards then the smell of burning oil, and the oil pressure light appeared.
So I toppped' the oil up looked around the ground and seen a few drips of oil(couldnt pinpoint source of leak). Then car did leak oil before but I ignored the issue and never seem the location of the drip.

So I decided Id better take it home 30miles away, it had decreased power during the trip, after the ride i popped the hood open again and the noise was a loud hissing noise like a vaccuum. And it sounds like its going to die if I leave it running any longer.


There had been previous problems before with the coil and cooking my exhaust.

Im thinking....oil pump and some kind of gasket?
and popping the oil pan looks impossible or a real time killer

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The hissing and bad idle could be a problem with the vacuum lines. Check all the vacuum lines, make sure that have no cracks and that they are all connected. The oil leak also could be the valve cover gaskets that are leaking.

It also could the oil pressure sensor that could be starting to leak?
