#116363, "EXTREMELY Bad Oil Leak need help!! ASAP"
I went over to my buddies house for about 2 hours, when I left I noticed that there was a rather large puddle of oil under where my car had been sitting. So I put 1 qt of oil in and it brought me to about half way on the stick... I limped it back to my house (about 6 miles away or so) being extremely easy on it and listening - the motor sound fine. I got home and all oil was gone, past the lowest line on the stick. Here are some pics... I need help pinpointing.
Leak just from sitting in the garage for 10-15 min.
Oil is covered all on the bottom of the car even WAY past the cat!!
I started the car and looking under, the oil SEEMS to be spewing on top of this CV joint, but from WHERE? This is why the oil is everywhere from the joint slinging it.
My first guess would be the oil pressure sensor is loose but dont appear to be coming from that.

With an oil leak that bad, I wonder if your oil filter seal is messed up and the pressure at that seal sent oil to the axle, which then flung it out all over.

The filter is nice and tight. The leak is coming from where the engine/trans meet... and leaking on top of the CV that goers to the passenger wheel.

oil filter tight? Crank position sensor loose?
it is just low on the block or could it be from up on the head? look down by the passenger side of the intake manifold

Everything looks tight.. It is on the lower portion of the block, driver side.

hmmm even if that was a HUGE rearmain seal leak, I don't think it would slip between the block and tranny on the rear of the block like that. Usually it leaks a little from around the rubber plug where the clutch line enters the front of the tranny. Do you notice any oil there?

Could be the rear main. if you remove the lower trans cover, is there a bunch of oil in there?
