Why would a car stop running and have oil all over it ??

Meaning my friend borrowed my car she said she was going only 60 mile a hour up hill everything was fine No noise nothing , but when she pulled over to let a truck pass ,, Bam ,,it stopped running %26amp; oil was every where?


Can you Please be nice and answer the question , the car was running like a top , before she took it , She said that she would replace the engine as soon as it gets here? . so do you think maybe she was driving with out oil ,??? I told her to ck it , and not use the air conditioner going up a long hill ,,


Please let me know what you know ,,


If she is telling me the truth ???????Why would a car stop running and have oil all over it ??
You might have been needing a head gasket thats why you might need to put oil before taking long trips or going up a heavy hill. when goin up a steep hill you need to press on the gas so the car can make it up, in doing so this created more pressure the more pressure was created the more oil it sarted to leak. She might have put some oil but not enough too keep the car running after loosing so much on the steep hill.Why would a car stop running and have oil all over it ??
I know this may sound ridiculous but it happened, I had put oil in the engine and forgot to put the oil filler cap back on,I had oil all over engine bay and even on the windshield. Otherwise an oil line may have broke and sprayed oil all over engine bay. I don't think she would have done anything to the car to cause this,it's one of those things that happen. Since she has been good enough to offer to replace engine I would let it go at that and just chalk it up to a bad day,I'm sure she feels as bad about as you do...
I was surprised at how much oil my neighbors Tercel not only burned but leaked also.
oil is leaking from the sump a big leak did it stutter stall hesitate or just turn off?
It sound you got a blown gasket somewhere... probably a head or an intake gasket... Our car was running fine... Then we stopped at a stop light and the temperature gage red-lined.... We rebuilt the motor and it runs like new... When you blow a hear or intake gasket then the oil seeps out onto the motor... The reason for the car shut down is that the computer in the car knew there was no oil and shut down... She may have been telling the truth... The gaskets were probably old and starting to ';rot'; away any way. Hope this helps you out!
Could have blown a head gasket
My ex girlfriend bottomed out on a hill and knocked a hole in the oil filter. Luckily I noticed the oil everywhere and shut it down before it quit. It was a dodge neon.
Kinda sounds like she chucked a connecting rod out the side of the block. Usually caused by driving it hard.
it depends on how long it went with out oil and if the oil leak is due to a gasket leaking or if something like a rod come through the block ... your just going to have to get it checked out and go from there
You back pressured the oil pan and this is what blow the oil out. The red light should have come on. The oil level switch should have kick in and shut down the engine.


Run a compression check to see if the engine is as following:


1 Is engine rotating


2 Is compression on all the cylinders and at proper pressure.


3 check the oil fill cap to see if it is still in place.


4 you may have broke a timing belt.


5 have the computer check and see what is stored there that may help you determine the problem.


6 The engine light should still be on


7 check oil pressure switch


8 check oil pan breather inlet


9 check the oil level


10 check ignition fire


11 check ignition timing





If the follow are OK


Yes the engine rotates,


Yes the compression is OK Timing belt OK


Yes the engine light is on. Check source of problem by means of computer check


Yes the engine rotates, compression OK, Oil level Ok, ignition OK





ENGINE SHOULD START AND RUN SAFELY
ITS A 15 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AND IT COULD HAVE JUST BEEN LIKE SEE SAID.





YOU CAN EITHER BELIEVE HER OR ASK HER TO PAY FOR IT, THE CHOICE IS YOURS.





I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS BUT NEVER LET ANYONE DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE IN THIS CASE, YOU ARE STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE.
