Well as the title says its broke :( and now the story behind the madness.
Well at about 4:00 pm on the 5-3-08 the talon was heading east bound on I-90 at about 70 mph when all of a suddenly my oil pressure gauge just went on the fritz like a Jamaican in a snow storm yea it was odd. well i spot a rest area ahead about 2 yards on mile marker eleven between Bangor and Sparta. so i am heading up the ramp to the rest station and about 100 ft before i stop the car it starts smoking like a Cheech and Chong movie. well i park the car asap and turn her off and then instantly try to poor my spare quart of oil into the belly of the beast. then to find out that there is currently a puddle of oil on the ground on the passenger side of the motor with the rest of the under-body sprayed with oil residue most of the way back yea it smelled great....
well after an hour of sitting and waiting for my dad to show with the trusty old subaru legacy station wagon it had plenty of time to cool down and for me to examine the car. well finally he got there with about 10 quarts of oil and we proceeded to poor about 4 quarts in there to see if we could find the leak well nothing happened at that point. so we proceeded to start the talon. well it cranked over but kinda hard and after 2 tries i got it to start with the use of the gas pedal but it sure did run rough. well we never did find where the oil was coming from other than the fact that there was a lot on the ground. so my thoughts are it could be the rear main seal that popped or the oil return line for the turbo.
so any thoughts as to what happened?
