Oil leak!!! Ok I have an oil leak, maybe a half quart a week. The bottom of the car is coverd in oil. Also at full throttle it seems to be the worse as if its shooting oil out or leaking faster. However i drive the car about 70 miles a day and it doesnt smoke, only under full throttle. I dont know if its ***'n from my rear main or oil sending unit.

I would say get under there and with some brake cleaner clean up the oil from everywhere you can get to. Then run the car but don't drive it - as the oil tends to fly everywhere when you drive it and makes it difficult to see where it is actually coming from- and see if you can see where the leak is coming from. You can buy a dye at auto stores that you put in to the oil and can help you see where the leak is coming from.
