[QUOTE="96v8, post: 898298, member: 15527"] So I bought my car used around the beginning of June and I realized everywhere I park my car I leave little oil spots, so with my highly intelligent brain I deduced oil spots = leaking oil. I checked the oil level and the oil only came up to the very bottom of the dipstick, below the minimum line!!! :angry7: I had to put in 2 and a half quarts of 5w-20 to get the oil level just below the maximum line on the dipstick. I have two questions, first I feel like I caught the low oil level fairly quick but did I damage my engine, second any ideas on where it could be leaking from? Is there a common leaking spot on these engines? This really scared me when I saw this so any help would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
