I'm suprised your SES light didn't come on, i'm sure the engine wasn't keeping oil pressure if it was running dry!

But the oil pressure was good right up until it shut down...

At first I thought the falling oil pressure was due to the engine stopping... Until I saw the trail of oil...

ORIGINAL: drperry

Haven't checked yet, but I'm hoping it's the oil filter lines... Or the oil cooler lines....
My dad has a 4.3 in his GMC Sierra and he has replaced those twice. Our mechanic told him that that is a common problem with the S10 pickups/SUVs. I still havent checked mine. He only has 2, I guess we(4x4 drive s10s) have 4. I guess it was roughly $250USD to replace them.

I wouldnt think it wouldnt think in 2 days it would completely drain your oil though.

Well... It didn't lose oil over two days... It all came out at once, Lol. And I don't think the oil pump exploding would leak down the skid plate, Lol. Yay for cellphone posting.

Could be! I mean it happened 12 hours after I reinstalled my one projector fog light, lol.

I think the entire fitting blew off or something.... I'm going to check right now, lol.
