Oh the horror, I just finished changing all the coolant hoses and refilled system. Decided to take it out of the barn to make room for changing the oil on another car. So, I started it for the first time in three months. The temperature was about 35 F. After cranking for 20 seconds the engine fired right up. I looked at the oil pressure and it went up to over 60 psi (all seems well). So I backed it out onto the road and started to go to the house driveway when suddenly I noticed that the oil pressure dropped to zero! I shut it off and coasted back down to the barn and checked the oil. No oil! So I put in a couple of quarts to get it up on the dip stick. Restarted and oil pressure came back. Drove it up to the house and got the other car. Driving down to the barn I see two streaks of oil up the road. After changing oil on this car I went back up to the house and brought the Alpine back down. Everything was fine and there was no oil on the driveway where I parked it. Tomorrow I will check and see if it was pouring out from the oil filter otherwise I am at a loss. I hope I did not damage anything since I just put four new tires on it. Anyone else ever experience this?
