DOUBLE "D" & LV (11/14/2007)if not the oil pan or that area, possibly the oil sender or switch has a hole in it and the pressurized oil was forced out quickly.
4.3 (V-6) If I'm not mistaken is the same design as a V-8, and the oil pressure switch is on the block behind the intake manifold (by the distributor). In this position it would put it about a foot or so forward of the transom, and a leak of that magnitude would of surely covered the top of the engine or cowling.
