Alright about a month ago I was leaving my girlfirends house and I noticed I had lost about half a court of oil and I couldn't figure out where it was leaking from so I decided to go home and check it out the next day. As soon as I left, I realized that i was getting absolutely no boost, and the car felt like it was possibly running on two or three cylinders. I had extreme difficulty getting up to 30 mph.I parked the car at home, and the next morning all of my oil was drained onto my driveway. Also to note, I am pretty sure my power steering belt was squeeking (loudly). The car already had some problems with pretty low compression and I was getting ready to do a rebuild anyway, but I have no idead where to start on this project. Also the car will not turn over. Thanks for any help ,even where I can just start to try and identify the problem
 
No I have no idea, yea I imagined it was gonna be alot of work, I just have no idea where to start the investigation
 
squeaky belts usually means they are wet from something right? is it possible that the balance shaft or something like that went out? just asking, i heard some nasty stories about that, just a suggestion.

Nah just lose or got some sort of fluid on them.

The balance shaft belts should be replaced with all the timing related stuff.
 
Yea i'm assuming oil or power steering pump fluid is to blame for that. Lol silverbullit I used to live in Martinburg, well actually Hedgesville. I just need to know where to start lookin
