I noticed in time because it let loose just after pulling away from a stop light. (can see by the oil tracks) Felt like I was on ice. I thought, man someone musta dumped oil all over the road. Couldn't even touch the gas without spinning. Saw the oil light come on and thought, @$@#!, it's MY oil!
Pulled over immediately. Car was still idling fine. No noises. After I got out, there was still a huge puddle of oil under the car, so it apparently still had plenty of oil in it after I stopped.
I'll check out a local hydraulic shop and see what they say. Thought I might also get a little good input here.
Thanks for your thoughts....
