Hey All,
New here. I am working on my brother-in-laws Chevy Aveo (2009, I believe) and have some questions about an oil pressure situation.
He changed the oil two weeks ago and when he drove it the filter cap wasn't on all the way and a bunch of oil blew out. We promptly refilled it and fixed the filter cap, but the car had driven a good 5 miles first. Fast forward a week and the oil light is now permanently on, has been for a week. The car smells like it is burning oil, but I can't tell if it is residue from the spill or fresh oil. It seems to still have plenty of oil in it so I am not sure where to go from here. I have read some threads on here that point toward air in the system, a blocked oil way, or the oil pump. Can I get some opinions on how to diagnose this and what to check?
Thanks!
Shane
