You know your a good drive when
You trash your oil pan for the 2nd time withen 4 months. I was out in the middle of no where and didnt know the road too well. I went over some train tracks going 40 and they had a steep drop off. Well needless to say the front of the car scraped and my first though was OIL PAN, check the oil press gauge, didnt drop in 5 min so I kept going, after an hour drive home I parked the car, looked up the drive way and their was no oil so what ever guess its fine. At 7 I went to go to the gym, went to leave at 9 and their was a rivver of oil running from under my car through the parking lot. Dosent that make you feel great.

LOL go figure the beating on the pavement didn't do it but the mere expansion and contraction due to heating and cooling likely is the straw that broke the camels' back...

Well I was more refering to the fact that the pan was likely warm wich makes it more maleablewhen you bottomed then when it cooled it probably shrank and actually caused the cracking then the heating of it expanded the metal making the fractures worse and that finally was the last straw lol... Just my little theory.

Sounds like a bad situitation.... I punched a dent in an oil pan once and couldnt find another so we took a 2x4 and a hammer and beat the crap outta it and welded the cracks together..... never leaked after that.
