Bought a new car,

Well all was going good until around midnight last night. Started the car, no leaks seemed to be running fine. Got about 2 miles up the road and i could smell oil. Stopped at the gas station and popped the hood to find it covered in oil. It looks like someone took a water hose and hosed down the engine bay.

Thank God i didnt try to make it home. As soon as i loaded it on the trailer i had lost every bit of oil.

I think either the return line popped off of the feed line isnt tight enough.

That doesnt sound too good....

It shouldnt be a hard fix, i dont think. It all came from the blower side. Not leaking from the tap in the pan. It has to be from the pressured line. There is no way i would have lost 6 quarts of oil in 2 miles from a leaking tap.

Im about to go de grease the underside and fill it full of oil so i can find the leak. Once i find the leak, hopefully i can fix it.

Since it didnt do it when i let it idle before driving, something had to have come lose while i was driving to the gas station.

Did you beat on the car at all?

Never got over 50 mph. I was on the feeder road all the way from the house to the gas station.
