Ok well it was already leaking oil a little, I changed the oil made sure it was all out then put 4 qrts in. She took a trip a bout 200 miles round trip or more and oil leaked very bad out of the car now its leaking around the pan and out of the bottom of the bell housing. Could that be just the pan gasket or is it the rear main? I fell like **** cause she thinks I did it cause she said her son checked it while she was up there and he said it was way to full but I dont se how that could be. Thanks in advance guys. Also where is the freakin oil sending unit on these cars? Oh by the way its a 97 3.8 V6 auto firebird.

Re: G/f thinks I broke her car
i'm no expert, but since both those gaskets touch each other (on the bottom), it would be like near impossible to find out exactly which it is. (if it is on the rear of the engine)
Unless you saw the leak coming from above the bottom on the rear main.
Or took off the oil pan cover and saw that the inside side of the gasket was dry2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

Re: G/f thinks I broke her car
Her car was leaking already. Now because you changed the oil and it leaks more than before she wants to blame you? If her son is such an expert tell him to fix the car. Dump your girl and find one who has a nice car and doesn't blame you for ****.Comment
