Very nice oil leak, passengers side Options

[nightryder]

I was on the hightway and my car just shut off, like it stalled. so i popped it in fourth and started it again. so I took the next exit and she died but this time i couldnt start it again.

My battery has plenty of juice (12.5) but the car wont turn over. My gas light had just turned on but im only a little below the quarter line, so according to it, I have gas.

Im thinking its a fuel problem, pump or whatnot, but i also have a substantial oil leak (puddle on the bed of tow truck that brought me home). My fuel filter needs changing desperately also.

What do you guys think? Im going to throw some gas it just to make sure that its not my gauge thats screwing me over.

anyone have a diagnostic tips for me?

The engine won't turn over?
Or won't start?

Turning over = cranking
Catching/starting = well, starting

Your gas light shouldn't be on at 1/4 tank...
Either the level sender/ low level sender, gas gauge, or wiring is messed up....

If you have an oil leak bad enough to puddle on the back of a tow truck, you have a rather large problem...
Need to figure that out as well..

To see if your T-belt is broke, remove the dist cap and see if it spins when you crank the engine.

If it does, check for fuel and spark. Whichever one you don't have is the problem.
