Oil leak how do I find oil leak in my 96 Toyota Camry the oil is coming out pretty pretty fast and there's always a Trail oil and a puddle

Put it on jack stands and get under there and clean the area where most of the oil is and then start the car and go back under and watch where its coming from. Should be pretty easy to find if its coming out that fast. Oil pan, Valve cover. how many miles on it?!

My oil light came on for my 1999 chevy cavalier, it was a quart low,I added it and it was fine but a few days later the oil light came on again

You must have an oil leak . And if you are looseing that much oil that fast its got to be a main bearing seal likely the rear . Get a good size peice of cardboard and put it under the vehicle near where the transmission meats the engine . Do it fast after you park it so the engine will still have some pressure and see where its leaking . You could not possibably burn that much oil in a few days no matter how worn the engine is . But the first step it to locate where its leaking from

My 2000 alero had a leak but i put the stop leak stuff in it and it did alright for a lil while but now If you look under the bottom of the car you can see it pour out as fast as i out it in....Is it the...

If it's oil leaking, you may have a leaking oil cooler line, they have compressed fittings on them and tend to leak, I seen an Aurora with the same problem. V8 engine?

Over heating

i would guess a blown headgasket....check for a sweet radiator fluid smell from the exhaust pipe. this is bad news if it is. If the head gasket fails several things can develop. This gasket separates the oil jets...coolant jets and the top of the compression chamber from each other. when it fails..sometimes you lose a little compression...sometimes you leak oil...sometimes oil leaks into your combustion chamber (oil burns) or oil and coolant can leak into each other...(an oil slick in your coolant resevoir and or a milky residue on your oil cap from coolan mixing with your oil).If it has blown from the combustion chamber into your coolant, then when it draws in fuel...it also sucks in some water..(thus the sweet smelling exhaust) then when the combustion starts then it also forces some of that explosion through that little leak-hole into your coolant system...causing excessive pressure...then also an air pocket forms from the exhaust. this repeats very often...then when you rev your engine suddenly you have a boil over... i hope this helps you...i hope its not a blown heasket...its around 600-1200 bucks to get it fixed depending on the car. there is a product on the market that might fix it by adding it to your radiator fluid...but i have heard very little REAL info on how good it works...i personally question all "Mechanics in a Bottle" type fixes

1994 GMC Safari Oil leaked out for no reason. Put more oil in...look under van and oil is leaking like a water fall. Turn Van off oil leak calms to a trickle. Other than the oil water fall the van runs...

Check the oil filter adaptor bracket. My 1993 Safari had the same problem, and the adaptor bracket and seal were bad. Replacement fixed the leak.
