So my sr died about a week ago . It has been leaking oil for a while before this happened .
Alright so i drove to the corner of my street and it turned off on me, after about 5 min of trying to keep it running without it dying , i decided to push it back to my house . I pushed it about 10 feet back and saw it leaked out soooooooooo much oil ! 73940

After that i took another pic of where the oil seems to be coming from.

73941

So its been sitting ever since, im not that good with sr's, (or engines in-general) but ive been told that it was just the timing chain gasket? And could that cause it to start then die? Just wondering if its a pretty easy fix or am i fucked? Thanks

Looks like the front crank seal. Pretty easy fix if you have an impact gun. I would drop the oil pan and see if you see any metal shavings. If no, you "should" be good.

Hard to diagnose the leak through the internet but I'd start by 1. Fixing your coolant leak in that area which I take is the water pump and 2. The front main seal. But for a leak that big you probably hit something and dented your oil pan if your lowered..and if it is after all dented, check your oil pickup! If that's damaged at all replace that unless you want it to blow up.!

Hopefully you didn't drive if to long without oil and you can still save your engine..and as for your no start issue you need to tell us a little more then it died..give us more details..
