My 1993 1500 Silverado was running great. it was due for an oil changed so I pulled it in the garage drained out old oil and put 5qt of 5w-30 in and a new oil filter.(while I was under there I also greased the front end) when I pulled the truck out of the garage the oil pressure was reading off the gauge. I though I had gotten a bad oil filter so I replaced it and when I started it up again it was pouring oil out of somewhere (only when running) I have not had a chance to investigate further but it appears to be leaking from above the oil pan. any suggestions??
thanks

did you have the leak before the oil change? Did you put the drain plug back in? also check to see if you double gasketed the oil filter. Sometimes you can remove a filter the the o-ring gets stuck the the filter housing
I was finally able to locate the oil leak. it is coming from the gasket where the oil filter housing connects to the engine. ordered new housing will be here next week
