Oil leak

[gsxeclipse97]

I was driving today and when i got home i saw there was oil on the inside of the rims on on the driver side. It was on the front and back the hole bottom of the car was covered in oil and it is leaking from somewhere but not sure where yet any ideas. Some said it could be the crank seal that broke but it just poors out like water only when the car is on though. I have good oil pressure so its coming out after the gauge but the oil gauge reads about 45 psi when im going 40 and about 60-70 going 65+.

I have not seen it but I could host it.

what are you talking about?

Don't drive the car until you have it fixed. You have a 7bolt motor, and unless you want to give it a reason to crankwalk, you shouldn't run it when "oil is pours out like water"

Especially if it turns out to be the crank seal! If it were my car it would be taken to a true mechanic, ASAP.

EDIT>> and by "taken" I mean "towed"

First thing I would do is climb under there and give the oil filter a twist. If that is loose, you have to take it off, and tighten that stud (its also a bolt for the oil cooler) to 24 ft-lbs with a 24mm deep socket, and hope that the gasket behind the cooler is still ok. In my case I blew it out completely at 7k rpms. I lost that motor (to crankwalk) the next week. This is why I always suggest poeple get rid of that POS oil mixer whenever the front of the motor is apart.

Any of the front seals, like the crank seal Wagon mentioned, could also be the problem, the oil cooler/filter is extremely common.
