Oil leak. oil drains out quikly I have oil pan Gasket leaks

Clean the area well with gas or a spray cleaner/degreaser where you know it's leaking from. Since you don't want to go through the proper repair by removing the oil pan to replace the gasket, do this instead. After the area is clean and dry, tighten all the oil pan bolts first. Then get a tube of black RTV and put some on the end of your finger that reaches the spot the best and push the RTV into the area between the oil pan, gasket, and block. Make sure it's well covered to plug the leaky gasket and let the RTV cure. Shortly, your leak ahs been stopped. I personally do this myself to stop that same leak on my Chevy 383 I put in my Motor Home so I don't have to drop the pan. And it works.

Determine if it trans fluid(red) or engine oil. If the trans pan gasket is leaking, drain it (By slowly remove the pan) and replace it. Don't use the rubber gasket. Use cork or silicone. If oil, coming between the engine and trans. This would be a rear main seal on the engine. Trans has to be pulled to replace it.

did you make sure to remove the old oil filter gasket before putting the new one on cause sometimes they stick on there,check your old oil filter if it has the rubber gasket on it or not,and drain 1 quart out of the oil plug if you put too much in or you will blow oil seals

This will help.

Thanks.

There are three other area's that can leak, here they are in order of how often they occur
1.Engine Valve cover gasket(s) (2 if V6 engine), oil runs down the engine and drips off the pan.
2.Rear crankshaft seal leaking
3.Front crankshaft seal leaking. Oil is blown back by air pressure while driving and rips off of pan.

List of possible locations for engine oil leaks:

Valve cover gasket
can,crank and oil pump seals.
rear main seal
oil pan gasket
Transmission oil leaks
Vents, dipstick,torque converter ( need to examine shell to pin point whether its the oil pump or a converter seal)transmission gasket,axle seals, drain plug.

If it is in fact the oil pan gasket that is leaking, then you would first need to drain out the oil through the oil drain plug and recycle the oil. Then you can remove the oil pan and replace the old gasket with a new one, refill with the proper amount of oil. Then you can run the car and see if it still leaks.

2.0L Engine

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain the engine oil.
3. Remove or disconnect the following:
   Engine undercover Front exhaust pipe Lower oil pan bolts and lower pan Cover Upper oil pan bolt and upper pan Baffle plate

sounds like a head gasget problem to me

drain out hte old oil, Remove oil pan bolts, remove old oil pan gasket, install new gasket, install oil pan, tighten oil pan bolts to 17 ft. lbs. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as this will distort the gasket and cause another leak.
