Engine Problem? Im currently driving my brothers 99 formula. It currently has 150K miles. For the past 2 days, i was really hard on the car with occasional WOT runs on highway and street. When i got back home yesterday from a normal commute, i noticed that the car left a fresh oil puddle 30 minutes later. Right now i have "low oil" light and an unknown to me red light above it... Till right now the car runs smooth and strong with no hesitations, stalls or knocks
I started the car up right now in a chilly rainy weather and i hear squeaking/ whistling sound from the engine.
Does the story sound like its time for a rebuild? Im not really sure what the problem might be...

LOL.
Look under the car and see where the oil (or whatever it is) is comming from.
And look at the owners manual so you can find out what the light on the dash is that you do not know.
Since it was cold and rainy it could just be the belt squeeking which is normal for an older belt.
