For that engine, most likely a A540E transmission

Did you top up the oil? some cars will shut down when the oil light comes on it usualy turns off the fuel pump and is a safey design of the car to stop the engine in a roll over situation and can also save your engine if it runs low on oil.

You don't say what engine it has. The 4-cyl was a better than the V6 for oil leaks.

The V6 had oil leaks from

-rear bank cam cover gasket

-distributor o-ring seal

-oil filter bracket o-ring seal

-crankshaft nose oil seal (less common)

-rear main bearing oil seal (expensive, just leave it)

The 4 cyl leaked oil from

-distributor o-ring seal

-camshaft cover gasket

-rear main bearing seal (expensive, leave it)

Check oil sending unit.

are you draining all the oil or just whats in the gearbox?
nobody can say how much you will need to the last drop really
but you will need at least 6 pints then check the dip stick and runing the motor,,, keep filling till its a full box

the control is opperated with engine vacumn, check for a hose cracked or come loose in the engine bay, the controller is in the dash,behind the adjustment knob, it may have a hose off or need replacement.

Check the radiator cap for white sludge, if there is some then check the oil dipstick for the same, if on both then 95% sure it is head gasket blown.
If there is a little on the rad cap and none on the dip stick then may be low on oil.

There are a few places it could be leaking from, first it could be a cooling line leaking, secound if its got a detent cable it could leak from there, third it could be leaking from dip stick tube, forth oil pan could have a hole in it or gasget is leaking, fith front pump seal or rear seal could be leaking. Everything can be fixed with trans. in car except front seal witch requires trans to come out.

yea i had the same problem, my last mechanic didnt tighten the top where d sprak plugs go in so it was leakin oil all they way down to the bottom where the exhaust runs and was smokin because of that... had it tightned and no longer ne smoke
