Well I found an oil leak on my protege the day before yesterday and was wondering where it was coming from .. so I get under the car and the "A" arm was completly soaked in oil...looked up and i think it was the oil pan was dripping... ...I ask my uncle to come look at it and he says it looked like i broke a gasket ...it kinda makes sense b/c the other day I was turning around in a parking lot and bottmed out REALLY hard.....and we took it out to the shop ask them to change oil , check leak, check fluids , and balance my tires...well..they call and say they replaced an oil plug i think it was and a gasket and when they went to balance my tires..they said 2 of them had big knots in them...so ive now got 2 new tires also....well...thats my story for the last 2 days....

If you bottomed out hard enough to **** up your oil pan, chances are good that you fucked up your exhaust mani or some part of the pipes. Check for exhaust leaks.

They said nothing was wrong with the oil pan it was just a gasket and im not sure if its the same difference but I found out that my car waws probably htting on 3 cylinders b/c i was changed spark plugs and found out that one of the plugs and went to recconnect the wire and wouldnt go into place so i replaced the spark plugs and spark plug wires now my car seems tu run alot better than it did...
