i speed up to pass som slo fuck on the street as soon as i cut to the left theres a huge dip on the ground...couldnt see it from where i was tailgatin...the car feels likes its flying at first..and as soon as the cip comes back up the car decides its time to go down....horrible bang...i pulled over to check what i fucked up..but couldnt see anytin....that was last nite...today i put the car in reverse here som cans scrapping the flr..in drive norm... realize my oil light is on..i figure yea im due for maintenance in a bit lemme check how the dip stick look...dip is clean as a whistle................ as if it had no oil for weeks......damn the impact was more on the rite side...oil pan mayb?..i see all my oil on the spot i park it last nite...i cant see under the car..

 

Is there any oil leaking?

 

1st thing first. DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR.
Jack the car up and see what's going on. Sounds like you cracked the oil pan and quite possibly the transmission case.

 

No oil = bad news. Tailgating is just asking for trouble. You can't see far enough ahead to avoid things- look what happened....

 

lowered on wat?

and x2 on checking under your car....

check EVERYTHING.

 

If you aren't mechanically inclined or don't know much about cars, etc. have the car towed to a mechanic to have it checked out.

 

tranny....damn i hate talkin bout that...

h&r sport n gyb gr2

i think everytin leaked out..flr is all rainbowy...i opened up the cap and i see everytin was still lubed...but that reverse noise was killin me...


rite now the sidewalks are flooded from rain..iknow theres a place in the front i can jack the car up...where do i position the circle stand thing... so i can hav a clearance...i hav the 5 quarts here..should i put it in n drive to my mechanic about 6 miles out ..highway about 5 min...and streets another 5 min...

 

I only understood about 50% of what you typed here. do you talk like this too?

do not drive unless you want to mess it up further - your car, your call.

 

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR! You may have already damaged things and you dont want to do more.

Put in some oil and see where it leaks out from. Also check your trans fluid and see if thats low. IF..... and only IF you add all 5 quarts and it doesnt leak out would i even attempt to drive it to the mechanic.

 

ye man....i talk text n type like that...if you knew me you would understand...takes me forever to type the correct way... my apologies.... but only found one typo ... cip = dip

wait are you sayin if it dont leak i could drive the ten..or you sayin you wouldnt drive either way...




where can i put the jack??

 

^^on the tow hook if you have to.

 

fuckin A...stay tune for pics

 

Theres a bulge coming out of the frame under the front of the car. Almost dead center.

I suspect it will leak, since it already did.

 

before adding oil



didnt even see the crack from where i was...i just stuck the camera in there

after adding oil

then i stuck my head in and realized lucky charms do nothing for me





so should i get a new pan...or epoxy this??

 

oh.

how's the tranny case? mounts?

 

it should be obvious, but do not drive.

 

ye def not movng....the driver side has scratches on the frame but all old not fresh like the oil pans....

can i jus clean it up real good...epoxy that together?? in the meantime...acura said itll take a week or so til it comes in from cali.....lame...

 

Must have been one hell of a pothole...

 

not so much a pothole...but you know when they are reconsturcting somtin...the cut out the road to get to pipes...and then they patch it back up....yea well the patch (wider den our cars) sunk...ill take a pic of it when i get bac on the road...

 

Phee is doing a part out. Try him for the part/s you need.

 

if u really need the car. jb weld it, order new pan, then replace the old one when u get the new one. when u jb weld it, let it cure, pour oil, clean all the old oil and sludge off and check for leaks.

 

I doubt he's going to part the oil pan if he's trying to sell the engine.

 

I would of just looked around for parts before buying them from Acura. There are only some maintenance parts that should be ordered through Acura. I'm sure you could of find that at a salvage yard or somewhere that sells used parts.

So you didn't see that crack yourself? You just happened to put the camera there accidentally and that is how you found it?

 

junkyards wont part out oil pans...then the engine wont sell...but i saw the crack after i pour the oil in and saw a cayon goin down i got real close through the fender well and saw it...but the first shots i had no clu i jus took shot of the oil...

 

I have a spare oil pan.

 

i put som epoxy in the meantime..lettin it cure....then ill apply som more...

 

if u need help puttin the new one in let me kno.. where in north jersey u from?

 

newark.. i was under the car jus lookin around after the putty...is has alot of screws..im sure its diy ready but damn..how much will a mechanic charge??..

 

jack up the car....and put it on yourself. Its not rocket science.

 

but he said it has lots of screws. lol. its easy, but u need to take out the a pipe

 

lol its dumb easy u dont need to take it to a mechanic i am a mechanic! if u got a driveway let me kno we can do it there if u want i got all the tools..

 

yea i hav a driveway...i live by seton hall....any idea where thats at...

 

I bet mapquest does

 

Did you clean the oil pan really well? I can't imagine epoxy bonding to an oily surface.

 

i got navi so i just need an address. when do u get the new oil pan? u kno the ultra flange liquid gasket u gotta use for that oil pan is recommended to set for 24 hrs b4 adding oil...

ouch that crack >_<

I helped with a mt install on a 07 sti... gonna be a pain without a cherry picker, get your mechanically inclined friends over and have a party while you install :P

 

It's simple on our car

 

^werd.

y cherry picker? lift the car, take off a-pipe, drain oil of course, and then start unbolting.

 

you mean unscrewing
