The mystery of the missing oil?
Okay, investigation largely complete.
Any chance when you drained it, you actually measured how much oil came out of the engine ?
That would have been very helpful
As for oil disappearing, I got a good story for you
I just had my 360 rebuild and installed back into the car
No oil leaks when parked, or idling, but it would always drip after driving
There was oil on the filter, so I must have a leak on the filter plate right?
Removed and reinstalled it, no difference
Did it again
No difference
Then a fellow member send me a 90 degree adapter so I tried that
No difference
Finally, I decided to wrap a rag around it and go for a drive
When I came back, I found there was oil on the rag...no surprise there
What wad a surprise, was where I found it on the rag, it was on the outside
That lead me to find that my rear main seal was actually leaking, oil would leak onto the torque convertor and that would sling it up
It just happened to land on the filter
Because everyone always told me "the highest point where you find oil is where the leak is" I stared myself blind on that filter and would have missed the actual leak
Point is, oil leaks are wierd
