I know how you guys feel, haven't had my block go...yet...but have been in the shop plenty for body work and all sorts of bs, a week feels like a month without it, although I'm sure the neighbors are thrilled each time its gone

So you had an oil leak only while driving?
If it was leaking oil while driving it would have oil all over
the under side of the car and on the trunk and rear end.
If it leaked enough for the oil light to come on (2-3 quarts?)
you would have oil everywhere.
Didn't you notice?

The oil light comes on and you just keep driving?
Was it the low oil (level) or the oil pressure light?

I had an engine die on my at work for an oil starvation issue. Once the light came on the car died right away. sometimes you might not have much time to do anything.

Those lights are completely ridiculous, on a Legacy I had, the oil light came on, and than 2 seconds later boom, motor gone...I had just bought the car a little over a month ago, and always parked in grass at home, so didn't realize how big of a leak was there.....

yeah those lights are useless. I think my case was the vehicle never had a proper amount of oil in it. It never leaked a drop. Long story.
