I just bought this car a month ago and it ran fine until one day I was stopping at a light and it just conked out. So the next day I changed the plugs and wires and it still did it.I checked the oil and it was bone dry. So I put oil in it and it ran fine for 3-4 days. Now its doing it again so I checked the oil and its bone dry again.
when I look at the engine there is oil all over the tranny.
whats your thoughts?

Hi richsipos,

Seems there is a bad leak near the distributor and if equipped with VTEC, the VTEC valve seals could be bad. Check the distributor O ring for leakage as well.
