I just picked up '97 Summit. When I start it, it produces a puddle of oil where the exhaust exits. Idleing for a couple minutes produces a 6" puddle of oil on the floor. Haven't really run it for any period of time, so I'm not sure if it will eventually clear out.
I did take a run down the street last night (1/2 mile, max), and there's a 8 foot stream of oil on the road where I started off. It looks like a comet... big spot where I idled, then it trails off in the direction I went.
I'm going to take a look at the oiler tonight (see if it is stuck on, or not returning all the way). Just fishing for andwers right now... anybody have a similar problem? Could this be a real issue that needs to be dealt with (i.e. bad engine)?
