Hello Scotty Kilmer community, I am currently driving a 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 5 Speed Automatic (3.7 J series motor) with about 150K miles, I recently started hearing a scraping/grind noise when I press on the gas rapidly at around 2500 rpm however this noise doesn’t appear when accelerating gently. I also get a flickering on and off low oil light only when either at a stop light, made a complete stop or even reversing slowly into a parking spot.
I do oil changes every 4k-5k miles and check oil levels regularly, checked under the car for leaks and found bottom of the transmission and engine drenched in oil but no visible leaks. There is no engine check light either, not sure if it is even engine related or transmission related I honestly have no clue what this issue could be. Below I’ve attached a link to a google drive showing a couple videos of my situation. If anyone has had a similar experience or is quite familiar I would appreciate any help provided. I’ve had this car for a little over a year now hasn’t given me any issues since recently

That oil is coming from somewhere. Put UV dye that is intended for use with engine oil into the crankcase. Get some funky sunglasses that brightens UV dye and trace it up to the source. You can get the dye and sunglasses in a kit.

The Check Engine Light is only intended for emissions-related issues.
I would recommend you check the engine oil level ASAP before driving the vehicle any further.
Did you perform a pre-purchase inspection before buying this vehicle?
