<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: paceme</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The weather on Long Island has been fantastic. I decided to take this car for ride on Sunday. I pulled the car out of the garage and down the driveway, as I put it in first I glanced at the oil pressure gauge and guess what it read zero. I looked at the driveway and what I saw is pictured below. My normal routine is to alway check the gauges but for some reason failed to do so. I lost 2.5 qts of oil in a minute or so because my oil line came out of block fitting, hence oil was pouring out. I reinstalled the line with new compression fittings and good to go. I was not pleased that I hadn't monitored the gauge more closely but luckily a disaster was averted. </div></div>

Been there, done that! Fortunately, caught it before disaster like you Steve.Pic??
