That is bad. Try to determine where the oil is coming from. It could be a bad rear main seal or perhaps a hole in the block or oil pan.

Sounds like it may have put a connecting rod out of the block or oil pan. Did it make noises just before the oil started coming out?

My oil light came on yesterday and I check it didn't have any oil! I put 3 quarts in. I'm not sure where it's coming from. The top Gasket are good, it may be coming from bottom oil pan gasket.. I'm not sure, I may need to take to Mechanic. I have 2004 chevy cavaliar it's such a good cars!!
