You need to locate where the oil is leaking from. This could be as minor as a improperly installed oil filter. Once you find out where it is leaking from you will know how big or small of a problem you have. An oil leak that major on an engine with so few miles is probably something minor. For all you know someone could have spilled some oil when they last filled it after an oil change. I would recommend power washing the entire engine compartment then check for leaks.

ok so got it to a garage where they can jack it up...and apparently someone damaged the oil pan...

theres a screw or soemthing on side...and the threads were stripped on the oil pan itself... so the screw didnt stay in...there was some putty or something around it (mite have been tape) i guess to try and hold screw in...didnt work too well

so now i gotta buy a new oil pan..which is like $225...then get that installed...from what ive researched an 8 hour job...so im looking at $1000 for this ****
