Motor been sitting on a pallet in a garage approximately Two years. I uninstalled motor and when trying to start the motor started up at full throttle. Did this six times while oil just ran out between the transmission and motor.

Hi,

Does the vehicle have an automatic or manual transmission? Are you sure it is motor oil and not transmission fluid (if an automatic)?

Keep in mind, if it has a manual, the one thing back there that will leak oil is the rear main oil seal. But that won't dump oil unless it's really bad. It will leak under normal worn conditions but not dump.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
