Did your drain bolt fall out? Oil that is? Or sensor?
I have not had time to look under it today I do think it for some reason leaked all the oil out it is a gold fluid and a lot not just a leak from the looks the dip stick now shows empty
Or did the oil filter come loose and blow oil out?
I will check the oil filter. would that cause all the oil to just drain out over night? The light saying stop engine oil pressure was a day befor this it only flashed once I turned it off after about 3 more miles I was on the interstate I thought it could be damage from that the leak
If oil filter is on bottom of engine upside down or even horizontally screwed on. I have had vehicles come in with close to no oil in cranckcase due to unscrewed filters.
