Well when i got some work done on it some place jacked the car up and had the jack under the oil pan....
So they cracked it and it had a slow leak.

I kept the pan, the fix is very easy to do, which is being done now. All in all, its going to cost like 170 including labor and oil.

And id say my car is pretty low, not EXTREAM. About a 2.5 in front and a 2.0 in the back.



and yes i could have missed it.

Anyway, she will be back on the road tomorrow!
