OK I fired up MAX the other day, and got out to get the mail and noticed a HUGE POOL of OIL laying in the middle of my driveway leaking from the front of my. Puled in the yard and stopped checked oil and none on the stick, only about 15 lbs of pressure. oil all over the lower end of the motor and drive train, couldnt see any anything any thoughts or comments, my guess is oil seal on the Crank, but any other thoughts will be greatly appreciated, wonder if its yellow under black????

:(

The crankcase might be full of diesel. If you have diesel in the oil it might not be easily visible on the stick. Low oil pressure is also consistent with diesel in the oil. ==> bad injector?

kinda sounds like it could be injectors. smell the oil and see if it stinks, or put some drops on a papertowel and see if a ring forms around the drop. whatever you do, don't drive it.
