Rush is on a distinguished road
Massive Oil Release

This is quite day killer.

DC, 25 degrees or so, I start the car to warm it up. No issues, though in retrospect, it was putting out too much white exhaust. I didn't notice; I thought it was just the weather.

I put it in gear, pull out of the parking space and the engine stutters badly. I pull over ASAP, and turn it off. The car moved no more than fifty feet. I wait a few seconds, start it, hear the ticking, and shut it down just as quickly.

The pictures show it all:







The first two may not show it that well, but there is anti-freeze there as well.

The last one, if you can see it, is where the oil is dripping from.

The following was done a few weeks ago:

Valve cover gasket set
Valve cover seal washers
Intake manifold cover
Intake manifold casket/gasket (sic)
Serpentine belts
Master cylinder
Brake booster
Low control arms

It's at less than 65K miles, does anyone have any idea what the hell happened?

It will get towed to a shop on Monday, Euro Imports in Alexandria, VA.

There has been no more oil than what you see there. Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

AND, if anyone knows why the imgur images aren't showing up, I'll fix that.

Thanks all, as always.
