Need Help: Oil coming out of tailpipe!!!
#11
Like Billy suggested, I would bypass the fuse to get you home ( if the pump is still working ).
We had the pump wired wrong and it did exactly that, blew oil everywhere. The "seals" as they are refered to really only channel the oil out the bottom. Worst part is cleaning out the oil from the exhaust and intake. Yes, you will find oil in there too. Make sure the MAF and intake tubing is cleaned thoroughly.

It was a blown fuse. I pulled the fuse out of my fan harness and tried it. There's still some risidual oil in the tailpipe leaking out, but the pump is now on. Seeing as this happens quite often I'm wondering if I should switch to a 20amp fuse instead of the normal 15A.
It'll be fun getting to the auto parts store without my fans on.
Thank you gentlemen for all your help. Looks like I'll be carry some extra fuses with me now.

I have no input on this subject at all, but after reading this thread, i'm so glad i'm a member here. I kept thinking to myself, damn, this dude has oil coming out his tail pipe, he is screwed! but, it turns out to be just a little fuse. good job on the troubleshooting guys.

I would think about cleaning out the charge pipe as the maf doesnt like oil.

I drove all the way with a new fuse and no issues. I checked the grounds, relays and wiring. I can't find anything, but it does seem odd that this happened on the hottest day of the year.
