i just bought the car and the oil light start flashing... and i really dont know what the problem is and the other the thing he told me that the oil pan bolt has to be changed cause it leaks oil ... can it be true?
NEED HELP !!!

 

DANGER !
The flashing oil light is trying to tell you that your engine's oil is dangerously low !!!!
Do not continue to operate without adding oil, otherwise you may risk internal damage to your car's engine. Oil is the blood line of the engine, keeping moving parts lubricated to prevent seizing and meltdown.

I'm assuming that the oil pan's drain bolt is stripped along with the pan's receiving threads where the bolt is inserted. This, or any other major leak causing the oil light to come on requires immediate attention and will need replaced ASAP. The oil will leak out around this stripped bolt. In the meantime, get some oil into the car now !

 

yea i have done that lol already filled it up but im probably gonna fix it tomorrow

 

thanks for ur help

 

It's probably the oil pressure sensor malfunctioning.

 

Anybody know what would cause the oil light to flicker for a brief second only when the car is first started, but only when the car has already been driven?

 

hows the oil look?
I would run half a can of seafoam in the oil,,with a new filter
drive 100 miles and change oil and filter
if clogged passages are involved that will cure it


could be an oil pressure sensor dirty or failing

whats up with the drain plug leak?

 

everything is good now like there is no problems with it now i havent seen the light blink yet i went to get an oil change too put a new plug so it was good after dat ... yea probably gona go get seafoam and try doin it...
