Well, Did you say it didn't have any oil ? Losing that much oil that quick, I would think it would be easy to find unless it was going out the tail pipes.

Well out on hwy 59 in the dark and the oil light comming on did not sit well with me.

Homer the Super Bus was headed down I-59 towards Birmingham Bug Blast several years ago when the oil light started flickering.  This was the engine I put it in a couple of weeks earlier at the Southeastern Bug Fair (that's a long story in its self).  Anyway, my problem was the oil plug had fallen out.  It wasn't leaking too bad running 60, but as soon as I slowed down, it dumped all my oil out on the road . . . well not all of it went on the road, about a quart of it ended up covering Anthony's 1998 Mexican Beetle.  :oops:  I'm just glad the plug didn't bounce up and go through his windshield!  :oops:

I also had an oil light come on and stay on going to Circle Yer Wagens one time.  That turned out to be due to a bad oil sending unit.

I remember the bug fair story! Boy do I miss that show

It's just hard to beat an oil pressure gauge, even if you have one on a tee at the motor. Atleast then if your oil were to come on you could just pull and check your oil level and if it's ok restart and see if you have any pressure. My oil light came on once because the wire for my oil sender melted to one my preheater pipes.
