new here, have an oil leak question

hey everyone. i just signed up here and have a 2001 civic ex. ive had a small oil leak for a while. then, this past week i got my oil changed tuesday and by friday my engine was bone dry, no oil at all. im thinking it could be my oil pan gasket? could this be right? there was oil all over the underside of my car.

Re: new here, have an oil leak question

gotta see where its coming from. i recommend switching to 5w30 next time. but seems you have quite a big leak. try and wipe the bottom down and see where its coming from. could be any number of engine seals or the pan gasket or the drain bolt.
