Motor oil can be harmful if ingested or if it comes into contact with the skin, as it contains toxic chemicals that can cause serious health issues, including respiratory problems and skin irritation. Prolonged exposure can lead to more severe effects, such as cancer or organ damage. Always handle motor oil with care, using protective gear and disposing of it properly to minimize risks to health and the environment.

Yes, used motor oil contains toxins such as benzene, lead, arsenic, zinc, and cadmium. Anyone should handle used motor oil with care. A pregnant woman should not get near used motor oil.
You probably have a bad turbo.
It depends if you are getting oil to engine or not. When you start motor do you hear a clattering on the top end of motor. If so, then you indeed probabably are not getting oil to engine. Easy way to tell also is pull off vale cover and see if you are getting oil to top end of motor. believe me, you will know if your are pumping oil, it will be everywhere. If you are getting oil then probably oil pressure sending unit is bad. If not, then oil pump is bad.
Could be oil mixing with antifreeze indicating a bad head gasket Are you losing motor oil?
Used motor oil contains MTBE among other contaminates, which can cause cancer. No one especially a pregnant woman should ever come in contact with used motor oil.
could be oil burn off from the leak Or during repair, the relative dripped oil on the motor, and the excess is burning off when the motor gets hot!
Check your coolant. Typically milky oil is a sign of a bad head gasket.
from the top of the motor is probably a faulty or bad valve cover gasket Could be the oil pressure sensor, it is located next to the distributor.
Molecules in motor oil thin and thicken depending on tempetures. Thats why you'll see motor oil classified as 5-30 or 10-30 weight motor oil. When you crank a van in 30 degree weather, the oil molecules are thin as the engine warms up the motor oil becomes thicker. Make sure you're using the correct motor oil weight. Dodge is notorious for having bad "oil sending units". If you're using the correct motor oil weight and have the correct amount in the engine. If the oil pressure is below 40psi while driving at speed, it may be a bad oil sending unit. If you have over 145,000 miles on the van, you could have a clogged oil pump screen or too much sludge built up in the engine for the oil too flow properly.
