We drove the car from florida and on the way we found the car was very low on oil so we got it filled and was told there was a leak. My dad looked at the car later on and said that there was alot of pressure in the oil and it was pushing it out. Can this be fix or is the engine shot?

Engines need oil pressure to stay alive.If it has a leak, have a shop look at it, might just be a bad oil pressure sender or something simple like that.
