There is a HUGE puddle of oil leaking under my car i checked the oil stick and there is still alot of oil in it. My car is too low to go under without jacks and i was there for only 15 min. I checked the turbo to see if there was any oil leaking from a oil line and there wasent. Is it possible that my oil plug could have broken or the seal for it have broke? Thanks

what side of the car is the oil leaking? take a flashlight and shine it down into the engine bay and see if there's oil sloshed around in there.

Possibilities:Oil drain plug or washerOil Pan gasketfront main oil sealoil filterturbo oil linesfront cover gasketyou get the idea.

Without actually getting the car in the air and seeing where it's pouring from, we can't help you too much

I had the same problem, turns out my oil pan gasket developed a leak.

If its a constant leak chances are thats the problem, as no where else is going to have a constant supply of oil while the car is off.

It is leaking RIGHT in the middle of the motor where the oil pan is.
