Car almost bled to death
Had a Halloween party this weekend.. And well I had too much fun. Decided I wanted to show everyone how my car sounded. Started it up and mashed on the gas right away and revved it.
Next morning I come out and all the oil is on the garage floor. Further inspection lead to the oil cooler. Since everything is covered in oil at the moment, can't quite see the damage. Suppose it would be a cracked cooler housing or bad seal?

Ever blow a seal? arr arr arr. I would clean it up and make sure your engine is full of oil first, and start it and see where it's leaking rather than a bunch of us guessing on here. But thanks for the laugh anyway.

if your having trouble finding the exxon valdez you can alway buy oil dye and use a black light too find the source of the leak.

Actually turns out the oil filter adapter was cracked, pushing the seal out of place.
