Thats when you should of called the towtruck.

That engine is most likely toast... didnt the oil light come on at any point? if it did, just blame your stupidity for not heeding to it and pulling over

got no idea what pipe and but it connects to the engine at the top. also if the oil light had come on i would of stoped. but it didnt.

Theres no oil pipes ontop of the engine.... I have no idea what you're saying... only thing I can think of is coolant lines...

hlo again. ive included a picture and i have circled the place wer the pipe is but it isnt the original picture. ive took a picture of it on my car but cant seem to put it on comp. neway this is a diferent cars engine but is very similiar.

Looks like the PCV valve. Some oil coming out of there with air is normal.

rizy102 · 02-16-2005, 03:47 PM

but is all the oil coming out of it okay? it had totally come off. and all my front bonnet was full of oil and my engine was flooded in it.

No, all the oil wouldnt come out, unless you're breather system was totally clogged or you had blown pistons/pistonrings so that it would have tremendous blowby.

is your oil cap on? it doesnt hurt to ask i guess, could be a completely failed cam seal slinging

rizy102 · 02-17-2005, 02:40 AM

yep it is on.

corolla_racer · 02-17-2005, 02:48 AM

there no pipes for oil..oil is all internal..cheak your oil filter, it might came off, if not that then look at your head gasket......

Flashmn · 02-17-2005, 03:25 AM

its cant be the headgasket.

rizy102 · 02-17-2005, 06:17 AM
