My car just started smoking out from under the hood, and when I looked under neath it, oil was spitiing out all over the engine and there was not a drop of oil left in it. What could have happened?
A gasket or seal designed to prevent such a thing from happening has failed. Not typical of the brand at all. If you lost all the oil rapidly it may be a larger seal like one on the oil pan or perhaps a failed rocker cover gasket. Check your oil filter as it may be the source of the issue. Sometimes the gasket on the oil filter sticks to the engine block when a change is performed. The new oil filter is installed and the gaskets get double stacked and it’s only a matter of time for a bad leak. If you lost the oil quickly I’d look there first.
