Major oil leak
So I went to Infiniti and got a list of things to replace including the o-ring and lower oil pan gasket differential etc.
Well today since it was a nice day in central texas I went ahead and started tackling some of these issues.
Got done replacing the o-ring, new oil pan gasket (allowed it to cure), drain plug gasket, oil change, and differential.
Well after a quick basketball game with some friends, I crank the car up and nothing then I turn it off then the leak comes. It seems like it only leaks after the car has been on for a while because it wasn't leaking until I turned on the car. Im not sure what else it could be. Theres still a little oil coming from the oil cooler, and theres another one coming from somewhere above the oil pan. The o-ring I picked up from nissan seemed a little small it didn't fit perfectly so I stretched a little to fit it not sure if thats how it supposed to be. Its a good drip tho. Just don't have the money to take it to Infiniti to fix it.
seeing if anyone had any ideas or If anyone knows a good mechanic that is decently priced in central texas, I'm not more mechanically inclined than what I have already done.
As always thanks for all the help guys.

If you're in Austin check out 5 Star Auto. It's off of North Lamar south of Braker. They are a great bunch of guys and I trust them with my car which says a lot.
