[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 631047, member: 20098"] The flickering will likely be where the pickup has started to draw in some air instead of just oil. So it would still be providing some degree of lubrication whilst flickering, and I’d have thought that as long as it didn’t come fully on, you might have gotten away with it. As you say there was oil pouring out after you’d stopped - there was obviously still oil circulating! The worst damage you could expect is premature bearing wear, but you’d hear this knocking if that was the case. Cure the leak, top it up, and there’s not really a lot that can be checked without a full engine strip down. [/QUOTE]
