I got to thinking about this statement after I went to bed last night. Was it really 2 gallons or could this be an exaggeration (like a cup of oil on the floor looks like a gallon)? I ask because, I do not think you could get 2 gallons from an intake gasket leak.
If it was 2 gallons, I would suspect that when the gasket failed, it hydro-locked the engine and a cylinder wall was broken, letting the block drain into the pan. I think I would try filling the block, while the intake is off, and see if water pours into the oil pan.
I truly hope this is not the case. Good luck. |
