      that can still leak. SO if if is leaking at the seal between the block and oilpan, you need to get Ultra Black RTV, drop the pan clean the surfaces, reapply, and reinstall the oil pan.

      That's a first step, and one that should be easily done. Unfortunately, it's usually not the problem.

      Having experienced this on several older cars, it's usually an engine oil seal that's gone bad. It's an age/time related issue. It's a rather expensive repair, but worth having it done if you intend to keep the car.

      Even if you don't intend to keep the car, it will be tough to sell if it is hemorrhaging oil...
