Well tryin to beat a yellow light I slammed the gas crossing the road(stupid idea), my shocks are pretty worn and my car's front end slammed into the road, drove a minute then smoke was everywhere followed by that nice red check gauge light. Anyhow stopped to check what I figued the problem was, nice big inch wide crack going down my oil pan next to the drain plug.
Anywho my question is is this something I should attempt myself? I just changed motor mounts a week ago, my friend told me I should have broken my oil pan before I changed the motor mounts. lol.
I looked over the chilton manual and it looks attemptable except where it says "it is recommended to use and engine hois to lift the engine although wooden blocks and a jack iwll work it may not provide enough room to remove the subframe and oil pan safely"
My plan was wooden blocks and a jack, I don't have an engine hoist in my driveway so this looked like my only hold up on the project.
Can anybody offer suggestions?
