Last night noticed oil pressure was 0 when stopped, but just revving the engine and normal driving its 3 bars.
Pulled over, looked underneath and there is a hose loop hanging down in the rear engine or transmission area aft of the engine tray/cover.
Engine runs/idles perfect. I've been plagued with this (see my last thread -
M104 Rear Main Seal leak? )
Very discouraged, because I got this car for its reliability and safety. I'm retired vet and going on my 3rd year of unemployment sans a couple of consulting gigs, so we're broke. I'm HORRIFIED this is going to be expensive. This is our ONLY transportation, as my Truck rear end went out 2 weeks ago.
Sorry for the whining : (
Plan to ramp/jack it up and get under it today or tomorrow to see what there is to see, but as my last post states with oil problems like this I feel like these repairs are out of my league. I am willing to try and pull the transmission to inspect the rear main and front trans pump seals.
Is my Oil pump going bad also?
With only 168,000 miles I didn't think these kind if issues would happen.
