So, I bought the car about a month ago, with 128,000 miles on it. a couple weeks ago, I got the "regular service need" message, which I was going to do when the oil was due to be changed at 129,xxx miles. Coming to work this morning, I got a "no oil pressure" message. I pulled over at the nearest gas station and put a quart in, just to get me to work, a couple of miles away. I did not check the oil level, be cause I was parked on a steep grade, and would not get an accurate reading. I drove about another mile, and got the oil pressure message again. I parked, and there was oil coming out near the oil filter at a pretty good clip. I drove a couple more blocks to work and let it set for an hour or so before I checked it. there was a puddle of oil under the car, near the belts, and when I checked the oil level, just the tip of the dip stick was registering. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
