Put water in it and let it sit over night to check for leaks.

Based on the oil I recovered, it appears I only lost 1 to 1.5 quarts at the most. The worst of it must have been happening right before I was pulling into the garage. :eek:
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. :)

Good thing you were using the Kendall straight 50W - anything less probably would have just run right out through the crack!:LOL:

Hey Doug, at least my pan literally falls out the bottom of my car...Do your fingers and arms still hurt from your last escapade? :D

The flat bottom of the pan seems like an odd place for a crack to develop. Is there a baffle on the other side of those new welds?

Yes. The welding of those baffles to the underbelly is probably what weakened the metal and caused it to fatigue/crack. Said another way, it could happen, again. Time will tell (and then I get to keep my promise and the photo show of me and a 10 pound sledge will follow). |
