K guys this is my story. I took a trip only 2 hr drive. While returning 2 days later i noticed that my oil guage read LOW all the way to bottom and heat was going up. I checked oil and it was fine so i drove home at normal HW speed of 75-80mph which i normally dont go any higher than that. My oil guage has always worked so i got home and today i changed the oil and new filter took it for a ride on HW taking it to 80mph for about 5-10mins. Heat guage seem to be ok but oil guage is still stuck in LOW. I also noticed that when i came back i had a small spot of oil under car. Also when i got my timing belt and hydro tensiner(not spelled right) changed the guy said he did notice excess oil under car. I included some pics let me know what you guys think it could be. Thanks guys

That link didn't work...I have a very similar problem, don't know what wrong with it yet
head gasket maybe?
 
get the engine bay cleaned.....lie under it and start and watch for leaks.....a few places to check.....headgasket, oil return line for turbo, valve cover, rear main seal, oil sending unit. those are the most common places for oil leaks for dsms.
