Best Answer

You are damaging your engine.

You are making a mess of the environment especially wherever you park.

Either jack your car up, get underneath with a good light and FIND the leak (possibly something as simple as loose bolts on the oil pan, or a loose oil filter ) FIX the problem ,

-Or if all that is beyond your limited capabilities, PLEASE take it to a garage or shop so they can fix it.

What should you replace if your car is leaking oil?

That would depend on where it is leaking oil. Leaking valve covers would require the replacement of the valve cover gaskets. Most oil leaks are easily fixed, but some are not so easy and are really not cost effective to repair. A leaking crankshaft seal is very expensive to repair and unless it is leaking excessively, I would just deal with the leak. Of course that also depends on how old the car is and how long you plan on driving it. If you do not repair the leak, just remember to check your oil level regularly.

Car leaking oil and oil lite is flashing?

Stop driving immediately, or you risk doing serious damage to the engine. Somewhere you're losing oil to the point of the oil pump not being able to maintain pressure(maybe due to not having enough to pump). If it's leaking that bad it should be fairly easy to spot the leak.

The amount of oil is not all that matters. You could have a faulty sensor or a dieing oil pump. If I were you I would avid driving the car and take it to a mechanic ASASp
