A couple of days ago I did the first oil change on my newest Supra and every thing went fine. I continued on w/ the rest of my day, put a can of 44k in the gas tank and filled her up (I know this seems unimportant now but you'll see.) . I then ran her on the highway for about 45min. to an hour. Cool, every things ok until the next morning. As I pull out of the drive way I see a big puddle in the driveway:aigo: . I know the car has a small pwr. steering leak so I get to looking and it's the new oil I put in the night before:icon_evil . The drain plug was leaking so I pulled it, drained the 4.7 qts of less than 24 hour old oil and go get another 5 qts. I put some gasket sealer on the drain plug gasket and put the new oil in it. Now I don't have an oil leak anymore but the check engine light comes on after abou 5-10min. of driving. My question is does it have some thing to do with the oil leak or the 44k. I didn't drive the car again until I fixed the oil leak witch was about 24 hrs later. Did the gas and 44k seperate from sitting so long and my engine is getting a strait shot of the 44k? I have no clue what it is, I have checked oil level and it's ok. Same with oil pressure. All of my fluid levels are ok and the oil filter is ok. Sorry it's so long, I just wanted to give as many details as possible so I could get as much help as possible.

I have never had to check for codes I didn't know I could check them without the Super Monitor. Where will I see the codes?

Thats what I planned to do. At first I thought I might have hit a sensor w/ the jack or some thing. I think it might be the 44k screwing w/ the sensors because the light doesn't come on until I hit 3,000 RPM or so. One would think if the sensors were jacked the light would come on as soon as I start the car. But I will check things out after I get home from work.
