Sudden oil loss, 1985 Blazer

greenmeanie · 12-31-2007

I have an 85 K5 blazer with a 305 sbc it has had a rear main seal leak for awhile but I have just been making sure oil level stayed correct and everything has been fine. This vehicle has given me no problems what so ever . All of a sudden I noticed a larger puddle than usual. It still ran fine before I noticed the puddle. I checked the oil and it was virtually empty, nothing registered on the stick. Any ideas..........

you should check for oil leaks and the oil pump. Do you have money to get it checked out at a shop?

The oil seal might've come out even more, allowing a bigger leak.
