I have never had to add oil between oil changes. I came out one morning and started my car and let it warm up. I went out after fifteen minutes and it pumped out my oil around the front crankshaft seal. I had a new seal put in it went thirty miles and blew all the oil out again. Will i need to put in a new engine or do i try to rebuild this one?
