I was driving home from work yesterday in my 1991 240 wagon when my oil pressure light came on and my car instantly died. All dash lights came on but the engine won't turn. Then oil light has never come on before while driving, this was a first. Oil is at the normal full level on the dipstick.
I just bought the car a month and a half ago and have always been able to see the camshaft from the oil fill cap. Is this normal? I figured the oil had settled in the pan and would flow up while the car was running, but now I'm worried its been running gunked up for who knows how long.
I'm hoping its just a blown oil pump or a clog. Does this sound right to anyone? I'm really hoping my engine isn't shot
