Oil Leak
Friday, October 14, 2005 7:21 AM
Yesterday I changed the oil at my house and I filled about 4.2 quarts of oil... Well, I went out at night to my friends house (about 20 miles far) and while waiting for other friend, my car got really hot... I mean It went almost to the H so I turn it off. I checked the floor to see if it was leaking something and I notice like water coming out from the left side of the engine, looking towards the car.. The air conditioning was acting weird when the car was in stand by....... So I went home after my car was cool enough, no problems of overheating at all in my way home... And when I saw the car this mourning, I checked the floor to see if any leaks, and I notive that below the oil filter, there is a small amount of clean oil........

am I running a bad oil filter ?

or maybe the pressure of the engine took a bit of oil out ?

I dont think it can be the filter since I tight it very well.........

thanks for the help...
