I started up my 914 to warm it up on Monday morning, and I noticed that it was puking oil all over the street. I shut the engine off as soon as I noticed what was happening.
The problem is, it is currently parked in front of the house, and I need to move it up the driveway and into the garage to work on it. Is there any chance I can start it up long enough to move it into the garage?
I probably know the answer to this one, but I thought it was worth asking.

Push it. They are not that heavy.
I know, I had to push mine up my driveway....
It was not that bad.

I'd say go with your insticnt, and don't start it.
Get a friend or two, and push it. They're not that heavy, so they're pretty easy to push around.

It looked like 4 quarts.
My better judgment tells me to push it up the driveway. The driveway is inclined, so I can't push it up there myself (I've tried). Otherwise, I would have already done so and started working on it.
Thanks for the input.

Probably a good call. Get a sixer of good ale, call over a friend or two, and push the car. It sounds like you popped an oil galley plug.
But keep in mind that 4 qts of oil on the ground can look the Exxon Valdez took a dump in your driveway. A little oil goes a long way to looking like a lot of oil...

If there is any question in your mind.....push it.
