Its your noutral safty switch,as your oil leak goese thats your front seal try putting one half spoonfull of break fluid in your oil.It will make it soften up.
This could be caused by a number of things. I've seen everything from low oil level (which is what you should check first), to a faulty sensor or loose wire cause this. If when you check the oil the level is fine, get a buddy to sit in the car and watch the light while you wiggle the wires that attached to the oil pressure sending unit. If the light flickers, you know you've got a loose wire in that connection and it will need to be looked at. Definitely check the oil level first...this is the most common cause. When you come to stop or turn a corner, the oil in your oil pan sloshes around, back and forward, side to side. Depending on where your oil pikeup tube is located in the pan, this can cause a small air gap which will utterly demolish your oil pressure causing the light to come on. Since the oil is sloshing back and forward this would cause a break in pressure, followed by a return of pressure, followed by another break respectively depending upon how low your oil level is and how often the tube sucks in air. It seems really simple but definitely check that first. Let me know if this doesn't work out and I'll see what else we can come up with.
Yes it is bearings, rings, and part of the cylinder. If the oil pump went out the motor would lock up. The oil pump pumps oil throughout the motor. If the pump quits, it is just like running the engine without any oil at all. Without oil pressure then the motor would lock up because nothing in the engine would get any lubrication. Don't think it has anything to do with the oil and filter. Probably just a faulty oil pump. I have heard of Walmart not putting oil back in cars, and causing them to lock up. But if you had oil in the car, and it has metal shavings, then it is more than likely the oil pump just quit.
You either have a blocked oil line or a blown head gasket blocking the oil line. Check the oil for any signs of white residue. This is a sign of a headgasket leak or break up. Good luck!
Sometimes an oil stain is tough to get out, because of the difficultly in breaking down the oil.
A suggestion is to buy a degreaser solution, such as Simple Green, or Castrol Super Clean. Mix one of these solutions in a spray bottle, 50/50, and drench the carpet with this spray. If you can get or borrow a carpet cleaning machine to **** most of the solution back out of the carpet, that would be best, but towels will do the job too. You might have to do this several times, but I am confident that you will get alot of it out by using a degreaser to break down the oil.
