Engine turns over with grinding noise

[Talon2139]

My car is a 91 Plymouth Laser Rs Turbo,and I had an oil leak problem, and got it to where it would not leak (was in oil filter mounting spot), anyways took it for a drive and the car had oil pressure, so I thought the problem was solved. It wasn't until engine had considerable time to warm up, that started to lose oil pressure once again, was pushing it fairly hard, and gave me the oil light. So found a place to park, and shut it off. Oil is basically draining onto the ground, so had a friend bring oil, put in 2 quarts, drove it for about one minute, going on a turn, and all of a sudden, the engine dies, and I get a grinding noise, like starter is still engaged. So now had to get it towed home, and when try to start, I will get the grinding noise. Just wondering if is blown transmission, stuck starter, or if the engine is completely gone(destroyed).

Sounds like your starter is bad. Try to roll the car forward a little bit and pop the clutch and then try to start it you may have a bad spot or chip tooth on the flywheel i had this problem.

My car grinds on startuptoo, It's either the teeth on the starter, or the flywheel..

I pulled the starter off, but that looks fine. Think it would be the flywheel?
