yeah, that's not "pretty good like", that's a LOT. No wonder you are empty of oil. Just think how fast it drips when under higher pressures, like when you accelerate. Did you find where it dripping from?

Well i know its coming from the right side if your facing the front. i thought it was coming from around the oil filter but then it kinda looks like its coming from the area around the filter and dripping downward. i dont think its the pan. i will have to clean the engine up and take pics.

Ok so i had to get the jeep from my job home. i had some extra oil so i drove it..when it got low on oil it would smoke. so i would add more and it would be fine. so i got it home pulled it onto some stands and took this pic. My buddy come over and he said he was almost 100% sure it was the o-rings on the adapter. but i noticed a couple things, in the pic does it look like the right 2 oil pan screws are missing? it could be the switch also or?
I also did want to notate that i know the oil pressure light on the dash does not work.

Good Lord!! Before everyone on here has you running in freaking circles chasing off the wall stuff, check the obvious, it is more than likely the o-rings on your oil filter adapter. They get hard and leak. No big deal to fix either. OH yeah, and get rid of that Fram POS!

clean motor off, fill up with oil, and start motor and watch the OPS and the oil filter adaptor.
with how fast you are leaking you should be able to visually see the leak. both are an easy fix and relatively cheap

So for the oil adapter i would have to prop the engine and pull the mount? also what does the sending unit look like?
