HELP... oil spraying
so i was driving my 90 s2 and i got on it a bit. next thing i know there is a puff of smoke coming out the a/c vents and i look behind my car and a huge cloud of smoke, i then notice no oil pressure so i shut it off and rolled into a parking lot. i pop the hood open and oil is every where. i let it sit and put some oil in it. it did not come out till i started her. thats when it shot out about 4 to 5 feet. i tried to look around and i can only tell it is coming from near the oil filter and it seems to be up top not on bottom. i did some searching and didnt find much to help me out. if anyone has any ideas it would be great. this all came right before i was gonna replace the motor mounts. this may or may not help. i had the h20 pump replaced and got it back. there was much more vibration than usual. i took her back and told them something wasnt right. they said the mounts were bad that is why i was gonna replace them. thanks

Oil pressure regulator stuck and over pressure split the filter body?

could the filter gasket have blown out? Or perhaps it wasn't tightened down enough?

Not the engine mount. Follow the Holes and oil. That's Crazy if Oil relief valve could do that. Not doubting. Just never heard of that. Leaks oil pressure sender or Oil cooler seal..?? Ask the patient where it hurts..

ok so it was the oil filter gasket it popped out partially. i pushed it back in and it was ok. i am going to buy a new one tomorrow and do an unexpected oil change. do you think the motor vibrating could have caused this or do i have a problem else where?

The waterpump can only be replaced by taking off the cam and balance belts. Looked liked they were re-installed incorrectly. (Hope they did not re-install old belts though)

Oil filter gasket is attached to the filter no way it can become dislodged. Backed out is my take.

i thought that they had installed something wrong that is why i took it back to them but they said the body is vibrating not the motor so it was the mounts. i am taking it back to them to have the mounts replaced and if it does not cure it then they will be redoing the other work hopefully. the oil filter gasket did pop out partially and i just pushed it back in.
