Just a few questions,

What Engine?
Turbo or not?
Which side of car is the oil leaking?
Is there a color to the oil that is
95' Volvo 850 GLT, Lots 'o' miles, 118k, Broke in just right.

90' Ford Ranger 4x4, Even more miles, 145k, Seat is broke in just right.

02' Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4, 85k, Working on the first 100k

I'm not sure of the engine it is 5 cylinder and not a turbo. It was I guess spuing out by the drivers side. I was not there just taking the word of an 19 yr old. he said he thought it might be a hose but I would not know what hose it could be or how serious this might be. But he said no doubt it was oil that was spuing. May be this will give you some clues I for one am clueless
