Massive Oil Leak!

Mustangbelle306 · 04-26-2001, 05:33 AM

Here we go again!
I've been burning/leaking oil for a month now, but all of a sudden (it seems) the problem has become tenfold.

I changed the oil last Thursday, then drove from VA to MD and back, approximately 500 or so miles. I put in...FOUR quarts of oil.
WTF?!?!?
Since I've had the Cartech, I didn't have the PCV screen in the back of the intake, and its been leaking slightly from there, but when the car was on the rack, the underside from the oilpan to the tranny is SOAKED with oil...as in dripping! I redid the rear main seal when the clutch was installed last summer. Could it have gone again? Also, how can I determine if its the oilpan gasket or rear main seal(ugh or both)?

Also, I noticed pooled oil on the lower intake close to the front. Could this be blowoff from the back of the Cartech? Or a valve cover leak? ARGH!!!
