Have a leak somewhere above where the oil filter is located. It is constant. Can I drive it if I keep filling fluids or will it blow out someday? Peter in Hawaii

dependent on what is leaking it can either be safe to add oil and contine on or it can be bad and it will eventually go and blow out further, chances are its not bad if you keep up the refilling, but i would check it out first.
