I tried charging the battery jump start the car and it just cranks. It's been sitting over a year. Every time I try to start it, oil jumps and makes a mess on engine.

Hi,

Normally, I would ask if it were getting spark and fuel to the engine. However, I am more concerned about the engine oil. Where is it coming out? Is it overfilled?

Let me know.

Thanks for the response. So, when I would turn it on the engine it would start then I turn it off right away cause oil was coming out by the timing belt and head gasket by the coils.

Hi,

If you have oil coming out from the head gasket and the timing cover, we have more of an issue than a simple no-start.

Do me a favor. Take a couple of pics of where you see the oil come from and upload it for me to see.

Let me know.
