Oil leaking badly

Past week I've noticed oil spots on driveway. Figured it was just my master cylinder cuz I have to keep put brake fluid in it. That's a diff problem. But anyhow. I jack up the car to see where the prob is. Can't pinpoint it but behind the motor on the k frame has a ton of oil. I literally had no oil on dipstick. Also keep getting low coolant light on. But coolant is good.anyone have this issue before?

Could it be your oil pan?

Don't see why it would be. I never hit anything. Are they known to have a bad gasket?

Clean everything down and see where it's coming from. Back of the engine doesn't mean anything. It could be front cover, valve cover, oil pan, etc. Everything runs down and lands on the subframe.

Fix your brake fluid leak first, that's more serious.

If coolant is good, but you still get the warning, replace the bottle. The sensors do fail. I don't think you can buy them separate on this body style, gotta get the whole coolant bottle.
