I HAVE A MAJOR OIL LEAK STARTED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING.THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE BETWEEN TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR. AFTER THE ALTERNATOR THE BATTERY DIES!SO, WHAT COULD HAVE BLOWN TO LET IT LEAK OIL? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Is there a gasket under the fitting to which the oil filter attaches? I have oil leaking from that area. Thank You!

2000 Mazda MPV oil light came on…within 2 minutes motor completely locked down. Starter engages but will not start.  I am NOT car smart so….what am I looking at and what is financial damage going to be?

my 92 s-10 blazer 4.3l throttle body has the check engine light on and the oil pressure guage is reading low (at the lowest point on the guage). the oil level is at the full mark on the dipstick. as i am driving and accelerating the pressure rises slightly and the light flickers on and off.(check engine light) there is no difference in the performance of the motor and the gas mileage seems to be the same. could this reading on the guage be a problem with the pump, oil sending unit, oil pressure switch and how can I properly diagnose the problem myself? and should the vehicle still be driven before diagnosis? thank you in advance for your response.

Have a jeep cherokee that is showing a low oil pressure on guage
