Celebrity Engine Problems

Q. I have a question about my Chevy Celebrity. It is leaking oil as if a lot of pressure is building up and it spurts up on the top part of the engine. It back fires when you try to accelerate and makes a clacking noise. It just started doing that today and the oil light comes on and stays on. At first I thought I was having problems with the fuel pump.

It had the oil problem before but it went away by itself. Please help me if you can!

Thank you,
Juan

A. Well Juan, but it sounds like you have major engine problems. With the lack of oil pressure, noises and oil blowing out the top of the engine I think it's time to consider an engine replacement.
