It could be the oil pressure sender. It is located on the back of the engine. When mine went the car would leave huge puddles of oil. Has your oil been low lately?

With no leaks, the valve seals are the usual culprits. Since the price of high-mileage oil has jumped so much in the last few years, I add a quart of seal swell at an oil change.

Could be a possibility of both seal and sender,not sure but yeah it has mobil 1 synth but I drove it around town/express way here and there maybe 120 miles in and its a quart low

I found out that if your valve seals are not 100000 miles old(at least) and you were using syntetic all the time, all that oil-honey type of stuff is not good for this engine. I did that mistake once. Still keep using AutoRx to get that sh&t out of my engine. My car would do the same as yours.

Ive only added a small bottle of the stop smoke ,seal swell stuff from Autozone,next oil change isnt due for 2ooo miles,but Im sure that the seals are well overdue for a change as well as all the other seals,plugs,wires,etc,with 207K and no knowledge of maintenance from the previous owners,im sure it needs an overhaul.

That would be better if you knew what previous owner did to the car. I also added only half a bottle, that messed up everything. I was about to do valve seals again.

I was just reading all the write ups on shophoenix(good info),Im pretty sure theirs oil in the wells,cleaned up the front cover and drove the car a short trip and the oil is seeping back,Im sure it needs the 120k and then some.

Iim going to contact the local college and see what kind of deal they can do on the bodywork,(rust) or my buddy who hasnt done bodywork in 10 yrs,lol

Car has sat for a week or so and now I have an oil leak coming from pass side,Im assuming the cam seal,valve cover seals,oil pan gasket probably all need replacing
