Hello, I'm phalz1.. I bought a 97 eclipse rs, Payed $375 for it. It had the following things wrong : bad lower control arm on passenger side, and bad cv shaft also on the passenger side. Once I was done, I added transmision fluid, and some motor oil that the car needed.

So I went to turn the car on and fired right up on the first try.. Sounded great. Then I notice a massive oil leak coming from the passenger side firewall. So I shut the car off and inspected it, i turn the car on again,and yes the oil was coming from the firewall, with those two times I turned the car on, the car dropped about 3 quarts of motor oil. I am asking for help because I could not find anything, even after searching the site for about an hour straight.. If anyone has any idea to what it may be, please help a new dsm'er.. Thank you all

Any one? I'm in need of help, this is the first eclipse I've had, so I don't much about them.
