i have a 98 gtp, 2day i noticed my car is just pouring oil out by the quarts. its lost maybe 3-4 quarts in a couple of hours. i was told it could be the oil pan gasket, front main seal or the timing cover gasket. any1 ever have this problem? ive put 2 much in2 this car just 2 have it blow up or anything. where should i start? my mechanic friend is gonna take a look at it 2morrow. any info would be gr8. thanks.

pics? probably the oil pan gasket took a crap on you...have fun with that too...you have to basically drop the cradle to get it done.

realalitically theres only a few areas it could be front and rear seals front and rear covers oil pan/gasket and the oil filter adapter or the oil filter it self
Id spray it all down real good and make sure theres enough oil in it start it and watch it
Is it doing it with the car off or running And a little oil looks like alot so if its coming out in quarts theres definatly a front cover or filter issue

i know. camera is out so no pics. its all on the bottom close to where the oil filter is. i thought it was the power steering but nope.

is the bolt on the drainpan tight? maybe the filter is loose?
12-10-2009
with the car running.

drain plug is good and theres no oil on the filter.
12-10-2009
make sure the filter is tight, check the oil level sensor behind the filter

its gonna get checked out 2morrow. when i noticed i stop driving the car.
12-10-2009
ok, let us know the outcome
12-10-2009
sure will. while its being fixed ima replace everything to make sure this doesnt happen again. i love this car, runs gr8 and its got 163k miles. im not getting rid of it cause of this.

If its an oil pan gasket its a pita to do be easyier then front or rear seals
I pan was leaking and all nasty when i did my build but only around 1/2 cup or so a week thats insane for it to be dumping out
12-10-2009
well illknow what it is 2morrow hopefully

did you ever pull your oil dipstick and then not put it back in right?
12-11-2009
Did you find out what it was?
12-11-2009
oil pressure sensor. $10 fix. everything is good now.
12-11-2009
So it was broke or unscrewed? Those don't just "go bad and leak everywhere" last I checked...
12-11-2009
Yes, they can and do. I have seen it happen on a friends car. Sensor just went bad and would leak a lot when running.Originally Posted by bluegtp91

still didnt leak that much your must have been jacked up
12-11-2009
