Puddle of oil under my car...?

I walked outside to take the trash out and found a puddle of oil under my car...I checked the dip stick and of course its empty.What would make it dump all that oil out?Puddle of oil under my car...?
Oil filter not on correctly...hole in oil pan....oil plug loose... may be more reasons possible, but that is 3 I can think of quickly. Best find the problem and repair it while you still have an engine.Puddle of oil under my car...?
A lot of things could have happened. Did you have an oil change recently (like within a day or so)? The oil change shop may not have put the oil drain plug all the way back in. Did you hit something? Something could have punctured the oil pan. Did someone mess with your car? Does it have an oil cooler, an oil cooler line could have gotten ripped off. An oil galley plug could have popped out. A gasket could have developed a leak. Lots of things could have happened.





I would suggest having a mechanic look at it for you, or if you feel adventurous, look underneath the car yourself and try to determine where the leak began. There's really too many different things that could have happened to point any particular thing out, especially with the limited amount of information you've given.
Blown gasket on the oil pan. hole in oil pan, busted main seal, loose oil plug or oil filter, hole in oil filter. If you tell me what type of and year of car you have I might be able to narrow it down. how big is the puddle. If it is huge it happened right now. if it is small then it leaked over time and could also be a leaky valve cover gasket or oil cover. have it towed to your nearest repair shop and hope for the best. older cars tend to wear out motor mounts and the engine will actually rest on the suspension and wear a hole in the oil pan. Most of what I have mentioned can be expensive to fix. will be much more expensive if you run it without oil.
Well, you got a lot of good answers already. But you can't drive your car with no oil in the sump. If it's draining slowly, you can refill and drive to your mechanic, but if it won't hold oil you need to have the car towed.
Stripped drain plug, double gasketed oil filter, bad drain plug gasket.
Proly got a busted seal, or the drain plug wasnt installed all the way, im guessin the seal though.
usually the only leak that occurs while the car is off is the oil pan. if it's damaged or rusted through. check there first.
Don't Start the MOTOR,,till more oil is put in..
scoot under there and look up.


Maybe you blew an oil cooler line. Maybe your oil pan plug is loose. Maybe the pan got damaged. Maybe.. maybe.. maybe.... Too many options. Someone just has to look.
loose nut possibly. get it checked out asap.
leaking that much you better check to see if the drain plug is still on.
Possible bad drain plug gasket...... It could be a few things.
a loose oil plug
I'd take a wild guess and say a leak
