need help

[Simple aveo]

my car is dumping all the oil out. i already changed the vale cover casket. and my right suspension is cover in oil. could it be the oil pan?

If you can't see the source of the leak looking down from the top, then you will have to get a close look from underneath. Get the vehicle SAFELY up on ramps, crawl under with a good light source, and have a close look. If the leak isn't obvious, wipe everything clean with rags, and try again. A big leak is not likely to be from the oil pan, but it's also not impossible if the gasket is badly shot.

just to double check it's 100% engine oil and not gearbox oil right as iv had the driveshaft seal go on my gearbox before makes hell of a mess in the wheel arch lineing any everywhere else as it travels down the driveshafts

people keep telling me its my oil pan gasket and i went to the dealer and they told me that they dont use gaskets on the aveo. instead they use a seallint pasit

that can still leak. SO if if is leaking at the seal between the block and oilpan, you need to get Ultra Black RTV, drop the pan clean the surfaces, reapply, and reinstall the oil pan.

That's a first step, and one that should be easily done. Unfortunately, it's usually not the problem.

Having experienced this on several older cars, it's usually an engine oil seal that's gone bad. It's an age/time related issue. It's a rather expensive repair, but worth having it done if you intend to keep the car.

Even if you don't intend to keep the car, it will be tough to sell if it is hemorrhaging oil...

Before you do anything, confirm where the leak is. I was under the impression you had done that.

It could be the oil pressure sensor as well.
