    Really?
    Your going to have to give more details than "leaking everywhere". There are a lot of places it can leak from.
    Have you crawled under or looked in the bay to see if you can tell where its coming from?

    The search box is your friend.

    I wouldnt drive it until you get that straightened out. See if you can find it, start high then go low. "Leaking Everywhere" means nothing to us.

    If it's that much... gosh. I'd start with the oil filter itself. It that sucker's not on there tight, I guess oil would be spraying everywhere.

    Otherwise, clean the whole engine, let it dry, then run it and see where it's dripping.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    1. If you don't check it every single time you are about to start it, you are making a mistake.
    2. Clean, inspect, fix

    Your description is about as broad as one of them big states to the west of me. Tough to help when you post something like "my car has a problem".
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Old oil filter seal may not have been removed the last change. But like Scotty said, it sounds like a bad pressure sensor

    Have you had an oil change (or anything else done) lately?

    And yes, if you don't check it every time you start it - something VERY serious WILL happen.
