Asked by Seville00 Sep 18, 2016 at 04:20 PM about the 2000 Cadillac Seville STS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2000 Cadillac Seville sts had a hole in the oil pan that I did not know
about I drove it about 2 miles realized the oil light was on and dinging got out
checked oil and it was empty put more in it and it still read empty looked
underneath the car and it was pouring out of the oil pan drove it back home
but turned it off and drifted most of the way when I did have it on it was
loosing power. Got home parked it went to the store got new part put it in and
now car won't start it will turn over acts like it wants to start but won't. I have
looked online to try and see what could be the cause but I'm finding nothing I
just hope the engine isn't ruined but I didn't drive it that far without oil in it.
Please someone help me this is my only car and do not have the money to
buy a new one I hope there is a fix for this.

Yes a new oil pan. The engine is locked up and I don't know why we tried to turn it over manually and it wouldn't budge.

I have a 2005 Ford focus and last night I went off the road into a ditch a red lamp came on and started flashing I drove it about 10 mins. Like that the car started losing power and shut off. When I got out and checked it there oil all underneath the front of the car. And a medium sized hole in the oil pan with a black metal thing sticking out of it and when I tried to move it off the road I tried to start it and the engine wouldn't turn over and when I tried to put it in park it made a loud grinding noise
