Oil leaks from my C15

Feb 25, 2009

- Well what had happened was ,I changed my oil and filter.The new oil was so clean that I did not see exactly if there was enough oil.So I drove about 100 miles and started to lose power,I pulled over and checked the dip stick and it showed very low oil level.Fortunately I did have some oil in my boot,I added it and the problem cleared right up.Then I drove about 150 miles and it happened all over again,losing power and low oil.I added some more oil and made it home,I looked under the bonnet and saw oil stains on my oil pan looking like they were coming from the oil pan gasket.Perhaps not having enough oil the first time caused the engine to heat up too much destroying the integrity of the gasket?
