Also, what smogrunner was referring to (or at least my interpretation) is not that the oil dip stick itself isn't pulled out, but the sheathing that the oil stick slides into is pulled out. The sheathing mates to the block/oil pan via a small rubber o-ring, and the sheating may have pulled out way down by the oil pan. Your oil dip stick will look like it's pushed in all the way, but your leak will be down by the oil pan.

alright, im driving a 04 Lancer Ralliart right now...my car is at the dealership...I went outside this morn and looked on my driveway. Antifreeze EVERYWHERE...., but no loss of oil or loss of antifreeze from what i can tell by checking underhood. So i get to the dealership and we put it on a rack. The whole underside is covered in OIL. , but now no sign of antifreeze leak....What gives. Oil is everywhere for sure though. Anyways, they are thinking it is a rear main seal, they are going to pressure test my car to try to find the leak, but it looked like it may be coming from the inspection cover next to the flywheel. (which might be why my clutch is being really noisy, if its a rear main seal)... Ill keep u guys updated. Ralliarts rule!!! *sarcasm*

they are thinking rear main seal gave out, there is no sign of anti freeze leak this morn at the dealership, but its all in my driveway. Only oil leak sign at the dealership, but its EVERYWHERE under my car. I dont know...i just left it with em, so who knows what will happen..Ill let yall know. The odd thing is, i havent touched or modded anything in a LONG time. it just decided to be gay i guess.
