It is a 1994 mazda b2300 pickup. It has 165,000 miles and its a 2.3L 4 cylinder. I flipped my truck over after hitting a ditch and while it was sitting on its side it was still running. I never got a chance to turn the ignition off. All of the engine oil leaked out from the dipstick, I have no break preasure, and it leaked out either red power steering fluid or it was transmition fluid. We set the truck back on all four wheels but now it wont even turn over. We put some oil back in it but the engine is locked up or somthing. I think the cylinders are clogged with oil and it wont start, but im not sure.
do u have any idea what the problem could be? There is no exterior damage except for a dent in the back fender, it just wont turn over I dont know what the problem is.

There culd be a couple of things that could have happened. Did the engine shut off by itself or did someone shut it off? Take out the spark plugs and try cranking the engine over. Without oil in the engine the engine could have seized up. Major problem use a breaker bar and socket put it on the crankshaft bolt and try moving it back and forth to free the engine. This might get it loose. If the cylinders are full of oil, leave the plugs out and crank it over with the breaker bar. If you can not get it to move there could have been some damage internally in the engine.

The truck died on its own, I didnt get a chance to turn it off myself. It died while on its side on its own.
Is there any type of button on the carb, like a fuel cut off or anything like that?

You need to do what was recommended by Mr. Ritzel
its probably locked-up it ran w/o oil. Engine without oil, dry to the boner-will expand and with excessive heat it will weld the pistons to the cylinder wall.

This is bad news comeback, Me and Mr. Ritzel will find the combination to unlock this engine.
