Name that problem.

If ya'll can't tell it is a massive oil leak lol. Changed the oil a couple of weeks ago and there is nearly nothing left.

Here are a couple of pictures to show you. I'm guessing rear main seal or the oil pan.

Kinda need to know asap.

Thanks.

looks like an oil pan gasket but really can tell from the picture. Throw some oil in it with some leak detector and it will tell you where it's coming from.

260,000, is it still orginal, if so I would just pull the whole motor and do a complete rebuild on it and save yourself some problems down the road.

Have you pulled the inspection plates? Did it start leaking all at once, or has it gradually gotten worse?
