The Oil Pan: Your Engine's Lifeblood Reservoir
The Danger of an Oil Leak
Immediate Actions for a Suspected Oil Pan Crack
Oil Pressure Light = STOP NOW: The moment you see the red oil can symbol on your dashboard, pull over and shut off the engine immediately. Every second the engine runs without oil pressure causes irreparable damage.
Do Not Restart the Engine: Do not be tempted to restart the car to move it a little further. The risk of seizure is too high.
Look for the Leak: Safely look under the front of your car. A cracked oil pan will usually result in a significant puddle or a steady drip of black or brown engine oil.
Call for Emergency Help: This is a job for a professional. You will need the leak sealed and your oil refilled before the car can be safely started again.
