My Luck=,worse as possible

scuse me for ne spelling errors i make, but saturday i broke my right hand getting started on replacing some gaskets and various other stuff on my car, being as my hand slipped off the wrench and i more or less full onpunched the engine block.... and today i was takin a couple of my friends home and i stopped in the first ones driveway to lethim out, and as soon as i pulled out i started earin a lot of sqeualin under the hood and my friend was freakin out about she didnt think that sounded good.
well i figure maybe it was just a belt cuz it was wet as hell out so i dismissed it. The noise persistedhowever and chanced to look at my oil pressure gauge....
after dropping a laod in my pants i said "well i have no f*ckin oil pressur....."
neway her house was just down the street so i parked it in the driveway, opened up the hood. the dipstick was roken off in the tube, so i couldnt check the oil level really...and i noticed that there WAS oil all over the firewall right behind the engine...
neway i left it there and walked back to my other friends house so my mom could pick me up and i spotted the place where the engine had lost all the oil...
neway i reallygettin tired of typin because i can onlyus one hand... somebody help me out here...wtf is up with my car?

Well, you are going to have to check and see where the heck the leak is. If you just replaced gaskets, and then had a big leak soon after, I'd check those gaskets first. If the oil is on the firewall, I'd check the valve cover gaskets and the oil pan gasket, since those are the only two I can think of that have edges facing the firewall. Distributor has a gasket as well, where it enters the block.

Sorry about your troublesm doesn't sound like much fun.

The oil pressure sensor, which is at the back of the engine near the distributor on the drivers side, might be leaking... It looks like a small metal can with a wire on top.
