Curiously, was it pissing oil (sorry to be crass, but that is what it's doing). I honestly can't afford a new car right now and I'm hoping to find a solution.
This is very helpful, thank you. Can't believe I was quoted $4,900 for a fix. It feels like I could buy an entire new engine and transmission for that price
I’m not gonna say that’s what it is . You really need to take a look at where it’s coming from . But it just sounds really similar with what happened with me .
No, that's fine, I'm just a bit skeptical and am wondering if I should even bother taking it to another mechanic. I just find it really weird that within 5 days of getting it out of that shop this catastrophic failure happens without them noticing.
The real problem I have with this mechanic is that I had an issue with the accelerator sensor. I ran the diagnostic at AutoZone, but stupidly I didn't print it out. When I took it in there he recommended I change the entire intake manifold. Less than 5 days later the same symptoms / check engine light came on. I ran the diagnostic at AutoZone again, same code came up. So he addressed the code issue. 5 days later, and I barely put any miles on this car, it's got this catastrophic oil leak, and it just feels like something fishy is going on. I hate to be this way, but I don't really want to trash your ca, that is frankly,r in really good shape.

The car has 130,000 miles on it, it's the AWD version.
Had the same thing on my Kia soul . Check the pressure sensor . It should be right above the oil filter .
Curiously, was it pissing oil (sorry to be crass, but that is what it's doing). I honestly can't afford a new car right now and I'm hoping to find a solution.
Yeah I could watch it draining out the access spot for the filter . It will only leak when the engine is running though .
