Hey, I just found my car with a huge puddle of oil under... I do know that my car burns a lot of oil because my piston rings are done, but it didn't leak.. when I jacked up my car and looked, I saw the oil coming from a little hole under the engine (see pictures).. I'm not ready to put any more big money into this car since the piston rings are done and it already burns oil.
Are you able to tell me what is causing this leak? It's not coming from the pan or spark plugs, it's directly from that hole.

Your car will be different but the procedure is the same.
