Hey everyone, new here. Alot of my searches for info brought me here over and over but I never found my problem so I figured I would sign up.
Anyway, I do alot of business with the local public car auction, Ive bought several cars from them and then usually trade up or resell and never had any real issues before...I guess this was my time..
I purchased a MINT, like brand new 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. Although the car looked emaculant inside and out, even the engine bay..it has 178k.
Bought it tuesday night for $2400, loaded it up and took it home.
I put about 20 miles on it and was heading about 30min out of town to my bros wedding and smoke just started rolling out the back of the car and in the car threw the vents. As I went to pull over the "Low Oil Pressure" warning came on and shut off as I pulled into a gas station, pushed it into a parking spot and looked at the damage, oil was everywhere, all over the passenger side of the motor mainly and down the chassis. Caught a ride to the wedding, got done, loaded the car up, towed it back home. Poored oil back in and now nothing..not leaking a drop at all, what-so-ever and it has a slight knock.
Am I just screwed or what? Was thinking about dropping the pan and putting some new crank bearings in if that will fix that issue..but I also have the issue of where the heck did all the oil spew out of? Totally lost, I just got done laying under the car for an hour with it running and cannot find anything....
Any help? Please! Thanks!
