Default Help losing oil/crank pully shaking
I went to start the car. the belt started squeaking so I checked the oil and all the oil was gone. I put more in and it looks like maybe there’s oil coming from either the back of the head or maybe the rear main seal but the crank pulley is shaking really bad. it’s an 01 300 w 142,000miles. help what do i do

Well that’s two separate issues. I’d replace the harmonic balancer ASAP and keep an eye on the oil level at least once a week.

do you think that has anything to do with the oil loss/oil leak?
