started the car up this morning and after it had warmed up for about 5 minutes there was a huge puddle of oil underneath. i looked underneath the car quickly and it was dripping a steady stream from the passengers side of the engine. haven't had time to look at it yet so i was just wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions as to what it could be? head gasket, o rings, something else??? thanks.
 
Re: Need help... oil is leaking buckets! (mikevw)

likely one of the three fron seals, crank, int. shaft, or cam. same part #, cam is easiest, int shaft a little harder(just have to pullmore stuff out, crank is tough to get the pulley off, but doable.

i recently had to replace my cam seal. it was destryoed and i was leaking about 1 quart every 10 miles or so. it was leaking alot more at idle. than at crusing speed. needless to say it sucked, but it was any easy fix.
