well i was driving today slowy,when i see something in the middle of the road looks like a big rock,i tried to swerve but i hit it and my car is slammed.so when i stop to check the car my oil is leaking and when i mean leaking its all coming out,so i took it home and all my oil leaked out within half an hour.imma lift it up tomorrow im pretty sure its the oil pan,could i be wrong?if it is the oil pan this is what i was thinking about doing,removing the pan myself,and taking it to a shop and have them reweld it shut.and just replacing the oil pan gasket.what dou you guys think?

 

how much is a new oil pan?

 

pretty expensive,they cost more for the turbos,at least 120.00(i think)dsmparts.com has it for more than 150.00 and thats oem

 

well then sure, if they can weld it up solid then go for it

 

the oil pan is weldable right?

 

sure, i dont see why not, it's just sheetmetal if im not mistakable

 

it is metal though rite?

 

well yes sheetmetal would be a type of metal lol

 

i didnt know oil pans ran that much.. hmm.. i would try to get it welded too but i dont know how easy it would be..

 

If you have a 7 bolt in your car still, it shouldnt be that hard to find a used one.. Just get a new gasket and pick up a used oil pan for $10-$20...
