Oil is every where in the engine bay. letting it cool down so I can do a compression test. Any tips would be helpful;(

I feel ya man, same just happen here. Is it seized up or anything? Details on what happen?

I was coming home from work and I was getting off on my exit. I hit 12LBS on the off ramp and it felted like I was at 5(no power). I pulled up the drive way, the turbo timer came on. Came back out after about 10min to leave and oil was all over the diver side inside fender well. I was like WHAT THE HELL. I look under the car and there a puddle the size of a 5gal top. So I pop the hood and oil was all over the driver side of the engine. Check the oil and it was a half a QT. low. I'm waiting for it to cool down and do a compression test.

can you try to see where it came out of or is it just covering everything?

I did a compression test. It was not good. It's goes from 150 to 0 on all 4 cyl. The head gasket blew. Going to do a rebuild. So where can a get JE pistons and eagle rods at a good price.

HOWELLAUTOMOTIVE.COM

LOOK WHAT HAP'D TO MY CAR TODAY TOO IN THE GENERAL SECTION :(

I've heard a lot of bad things about howell.

Howell takes forever sometimes, but they do have good prices. Conceptillusions.com takes a long time to but is really cheap. Other than they exileracing.com, importperformanceparts.net, dragonautomotive.com, or modernperformance.com all have decent prices. If your looking for something that "may have fallen off a truck" cheap go to dsmtraders.com.

Tim, you have a built motor already right?

I know that! Other Tim is the 97 one... Anyway, I would not be surprised if the stock motor blew at 12psi.

Well my actual question was, did you blow a MLS headgasket?

Yes it was a MLS. I don't know the reason it went yet. I have not thore the engine apart yet to find the cause.
