Start the engine and allow it to run until the engine compartment is warm. But its not runng bad yet.
Popped out to the shops today in our p38 46 by the time I got there the old girl had overheated and sprayed oil all over the engine bay lost all coolant lost all.
Oil sprayed all over engine. In addition when the filler cap on the oil tank becomes loose or cracks it is a fairly common source of engine oil leaks in automobiles. The latter is especially true with older automobiles. The formation of telltale oil puddles beneath your automobile or the pooling of oil around the engine itself will occur as soon as this occurs suggesting that something is amiss with your engine.
There are many causes why oil would spray all over an engine. If an oil seal fails at the front of the engine the oil can go everywhere blown by the air coming though the radiator. Gasket or o ring failed.
Could be rocker cover or timing cover. Oil spraying all over the engine. Make sure that the oil cap is on tight and has no damage like cracks.
Usually if the oil cap is missing or not secured it will send oil everywhere. Posted on May 26 2010. There is oil that has sprayed all over my engine.
I wouldnt think that a gasket failure would cause this much oil so Im thinking an oil cooler line or something similar. Problem is when I called the dealer to check availability on parts the parts department said the 2001 chrysler seabring limited doesnt have an oil cooler. What would cause oil to spray all over engine.
If the oil cap is broken loose or missing the oil can leak out because of the stress on the engine. The valve cover gasket is the most common site for leaking oil. Spray on a warm not hot dry engine and let it soak in a few minutes.
You may want to spray it down a few times with the degreaser of your choice before rinsing. Its habit of mine for the motor to be running when I spray it off with a garden hose. Ive seen some suggest putting a plastic bag over the alternator.
Like Tom said check the oil level top it up stick a cap back on and drive the thing down to the service station and show them. Maybe let the engine idle in the driveway for a bit until most of the oil is burnt off the exhaust and the smoke has lessened. Then youre good to go.
Typically if a serious oil leak occurs all of a sudden and if nothing was hit then you may have high internal engine pressure. This would cause the oil to pressurize out of the engine. This can be caused by a serious internal engine failure or from a failung PCV system.
If you want to have this diagnosed consider YourMechanic as a certified mechanic can come to you to diagnose why the oil. Clean the engine completely. A dirty engine can make it more difficult to track down the source of the engine leak so always perform this step.
Start the engine and allow it to run until the engine compartment is warm. This usually takes about five minutes. Then turn the engine off and spray degreaser over entire engine from top to bottom.
Popped out to the shops today in our p38 46 by the time I got there the old girl had overheated and sprayed oil all over the engine bay lost all coolant lost all. If oil drips on a pulley or a belt then the rotation of those objects could sling the oil everywhere even as high as the bottom of the hood. Most likely an oil leak would have to be above these components and a good guess would be through something like a failed valve cover gasket.
When I parked I could smell oil burning and I opened the hood and there was oil sprayed all over the driver side of the engine bay. I could not locate where it came from and the dipstick had barely any oil on it now. Back info that may help Car was just picked up from the mechanic services power steering pump and replaced the drive belts.
If the engine is not hot enough to boil the water in the block then there will be no problem. If you pull the cap and the water in the hot engine block begins to boil the expanding steam will begin to push the coolant out of your radiator. There will be a lot of hot fluid spraying around.
Well I can clearly see the upper hose as well as the heateroil cooler return hose is still attached in your video. However you could have a split in one of the hoses. You could also have a deteriorated J plug.
That attaches just to the right of the t-stat body. You really wont know until you get in there for a closer examination. Oct 17 2011.
From a redlight i got on it a little bit and 15 sec. Later i start to smell coolant inside the car. Roll my windows down thinking its coming from outside.
Then i notice a bunch of white smoke trailing the car. I pull over open the hood and i find coolant sprayed all over the engine. It came from the upper intake area as the hood.
The oil is leaking under the car alot and it sprayed out all over the coolant contanier. But its not runng bad yet. He was holding the trigger and spraying oil all over my engine.
When he realized his mistake several seconds later he repositioned the hose back in the hole and continued pumping oil. What could be the problem. Estimate on how much it costs to get fixed.
When putting oil in it sprays all over engine only while driving and sometimes will smoke. It does not leak oil to the ground. But it spray it all over engine very quickly.
So it does not hold the oil. Have to keep putting oil in. Wash the engine.
Using a spray can of degreaser carefully douse the spot where oil has spilled. Like dishwashing soap on cooking oil it cuts through the grease so it can be washed away. Once its been given a few minutes to dissolve the oil wash it down with either a garden hose or a pressure washer.
The coolant expansion tank is there to capture the expansion of the coolant in the rest of the system. The spraying of coolant in the engine compartment occurs after the cooling system pressurizes. When pressure begins to build in the cooling system coolant will be forced out much like a spray nozzle from a water hose.
