Damn, something stung the bumblebee!

Did you possibly run something over, puncturing the oil filter, and the PS hose?

Have you ever changed the oil pan gasket? What about the oil pressure sender? Those were the causes of my oil leaks. Replaced them both and it's perfect now.

I'll answer those for him. No, and no. I'm rolling over there to check it out Sunday night. Can't possibly make it sooner, I've gotta work all weekend out of town.

Good luck! I hate things that can be a bitch like that.

even sometimes people do not notice that their oil keeps leaking, i used to be one of them...

I didn't at first, but have gotten better. The pan gasket I noticed seeping a little a few weeks ago, so changed that out when I put in my gauges.
