The oil starts at the fender crease and is a follows a nice pattern down, if a line ruptured while driving there should be evidence sprayed all over, not following a nice orderly drip pattern.
Ok I did some digging. Someone in the comments says it was a leaking oil cooler line. And the driver said it read zero oil pressure when he shut it off. So a simple leak may have ruined the motor. Have to wait for more info. This will probably get spread everywhere with false information no matter what really happened. Here's the facebook page.
Should still have engine oil sprayed all over the passenger side of the engine bay. If it had the pressure to blow through the body panel seams, it should be EVERYWHERE under the hood - and it's not.
The guy that posted it on FB said the oil cooler line came off. He said once it was reattached and refilled with oil, the motor is fine and the car is home in the guys garage. If I was the owner, I would definitely be taking it back to the dealer and at LEAST have record of what happened in case the motor goes prematurely.
Can anyone show how the oil lines are attached to the oil coolers please?
I'm just curious, because unless it's attached with AN- fittings this could become a common malfunction. Hopefully it's not a rubber hose with some cheesy hose clamps. That wouldn't hold very long with hot oil, and oil pressures at 50+psi.
