Anyone else have this happen?
I took the car out for a beat run and in the middle of 3rd gear I had a massive blue cloud of smoke come out of my engine bay area. Oil on the windsheild, and on the tires. It was everywhere!! I got it home costing into the driveway. I left it sit until yesterday when I got some more oil. I checked everything out quick. I started it up and, it ran rough. I shut her off and noticed all the oil I had put in had been pumped out by my nice new mitsu oil pump!! I took a closer look to the oil filter area becuase, thats where the oil seemed to be coming from (keeping in mind I just replaced the oil filter housing that some how cracked). I grabbed my oil filter which I had tightened a little extra with an oil filter wrench, and it seemed loose!!!! I couldn't believe that it had backed off. Well, it actually didnt back off. The gasket some how blew itself out! I didn't double up the gasket or anything stupid like that. Needless to say I'm going to drop my oil pan and throw some new rod bearings in just to be safe since they are cheap. I will never use a valvoline oil filter again!!!
