    Ok so my 97 3800 SE NA grand prix decided to start leaking oil- fresh oil change last week too!... so alot of new oil! I got under the car to see about where it is coming from but hard to see since it only wants to leak once im done driving so it makes it hard to find the leak with it blowing on everything......so on these cars, i seen on a thread were the oil pan/gasket go bad regularly but mine seems to be fine (no holes in oil pan either), anyone got any suggestions on what else would cause me to lose almost all my oil in 2 days?

    Wipe everything down. Fill it up and start it. Now put it in gear and bring the rpm to 1500 with your foot on the brake. Do that about a min or two and turn it off. Now look for the fresh oil.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
