<p>First off, let me say that I am religious about changing my oil every 3 months or 3000 miles. I have a 1990 4Runner that was about a quart & 1/2 low on oil after a long trip. I filled the oil up, and got in and started the car. (It actually coughed twice before it started which it had never done before).</p>
<p>I was going to check the transmission fluid, and noticed that most or all the oil from my car was pouring onto the ground.</p>
<p>It came from what looks to be the front of the engine behind the timing chain cover, but was hard to locate directly because it poured out so quickly.</p>
<p>The engine, even though this happened, still ran fine, so I don't believe that there is engine damage.
Anyone have any ideas?</p>
