[Shotimes] Newcomer with a new problem

[Donald Mallinson]

Sudden leaks like that can come from the oil level sensor or 
the oil pressure sensor.  Those are the first two places I 
would look for a pretty bad leak that you can see dripping. 
  If the bottom of the pan is just getting oily and 
eventually dripping a bit when parked, then it is probably 
coming from the rear or front crank seals, not much to do 
about those, except put new seals in, and that usually 
doesn't work for long.

I am trying Valvoline Maxlife oil and it seems to be at 
least slowing some slow leaks in my trusty 89.
