I hit a pothole over a month ago and i have a terrible oil leak. it leaks all the oil out with in an hour it is a continual leak that does not stop until it is all gone. i checked under the car and it is some where in the middle but i can not see exactly where it comes from i just know it is leaking down from somewhere and it runs to the right
Hi,
I have a 1997 chevrolet malibu. All of a sudden, my car starting leaking alot of oil and it seems as if it's coming from the top. I checked the oil filter and it's screwed on tight. I can't see the whole top of the engine because there is a part that is of good size that has some bolts on it. The part has to be removed so I can see what is underneath. The oil is spewing out from the top on the right hand side. Is there a hose or something up there? Any suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
You might have bend your oil pan or oil hoses. if you don't see any crack or dent on the them, then it could be bend and leaking from the top of the oil pan gasket. small problem easy to fix. make sure do not drive until you fix the problem .car can stop running when all the oil is out and will not be able to run again. if oil pan is bend then it is leaking from the oil pan gasket because the pan is no longer staright after it got bend. you have to take it down and straighten it back. make sure check all the oil hoses that run from the oil pan to the transmission and the raditor cooler. the hoses could be metal and rubber.
Sounds like u have a cracked oil pan, requires removal from engine and either welding or new pan estimate cost around $300 and up depending on location and if other damage
Oil coming from top right? You mean drivers side? Head Gasket. Check your oil for coolant and coolant for oil.
I have a 1997 Malibu I JUST bought that I am having some weirdness with. My coolant light will come on and go off on steep hills (normal), but also it came on today while I was on my way back to my Island from the Maine-Land XD. I am not leaking coolant, I have no coolant in oil or oil in coolant, BUT I looked underneath the car and noticed oil on my passenger side A-Frame. I can't tell where it is coming from due to the plastic bash plate, which I will remove in about a half hour. I also think my thermostat is sticking... with a gasket leak on it... a bad fluid level sensor, and I also figure my float is sticking. Too much minor b/s to go through all at once. I'll also end up flushing her, replacing my water pump, and find out where this oil is coming from and put a stop to that.
