    Mysterious oil leak: Help

    Yeah So I think the Evo is gonna be Down and Out for a while...

    I went to check my oil since it's time to do a oil change... I saw my dip stick SUPER DRY! So I had to add 2 quarts of oil on friday... Well today, I went under the car and thats when I noticed a BUNCH of oil under neath my car, right driver wheel, Everywhere.... Somehow I'm Spilling oil all beneath the car like I forgot to tighten the Drain plug or Filter. Checked the oil and Super LOW! like barely on the stick.... WTH! Someone help me please this is depressing..

    Oh i also checked at some of the oil lines (the ones that go to the cooler) and didn't see any tears/rips. Any Idea what I should check? I don't have a Oil pressure gauge, and I don't see oil on the block. Looking from the topside of the engine bay, you see no signs of oil anywhere... but get under the car.... WHOLLY SHIZNITS!!

    SO WTF!? I let the car run and went under neath to see if there was any Extreme oil stream but nothing... I need some help to figure out what it is... YES the bolt is the Filter is tight. I do know that i have a Super small leak from my Rear Main Seal.. but this is like a MESS.... No knocking... no Smoke... I can't figure it out.


    *I'ma post this as a thread if anyone can't seem to find the prob. *

    This big of a leak should be pretty easy to spot.

    Fill the car back up with oil and get it on a set of jack stands.
    Start the car and get it warmed up and watch for leaks above an below.

    You likely have a loose or damaged oil filter but it could also be your drain plug if you've been re-using your crush washer every change. At any rate, once you see where the initial drip is coming from, trace it to the source.

    **** Update ****

    Thanks to Massimo, we found that there was a crack on the Oil filter..... Which when the car was on idle... there was a slow leakage... However when accelerating, there would be gushing oil/stream of oil due to pressure which lead to the oil being all over the undercarriage.
