It may be small to us but to people who live in Micronesia it’s a catastrophe. Their small islands get smaller or completely submerged. (I read a book about a guy who taught children in the Bikini Islands.)

It wasn’t a puddle and keep in mind when I get in and out of the car the stain was under the car. It wasn’t obvious to me until the car was actually gone and the space was vacant. Now I know to check. I know I’ve taken good care of my car, I’ve had it for 18 years/187K miles. It’s just time for a new car. They guy said at some point something was over twisted and that is why I need a new oil pan. I said, well why did I pay for a new gasket kit and oil ring thing if the leak is in the oil pan? I just think I’ll be chasing one problem after another. Thanks for listening to me complain and I appreciate your advice.

Done!

Thanks, I'll just take the car home and buy some oil to replace any that falls out and try to find a cheaper mechanic. I appreciate you looking that up for me.

Listen here you troll-bot, I don't care if you think I'm poor; that's your hangup. Also, I didn't have quarts of oil leaking or else that would've been an obvious problem. I have stain, not a puddle.

Now, they're telling me I need my oil pan replaced: $1745

Fine, yes; good or great, no.

I have oil stains in my driveway. I just ignored it. My fault. Just thought it was normal for an old car.

A little bit more, but I wouldn't sell it, I'd just give it to a family member or friend in need.

About $1300

Yes, I never checked my oil level. In fact, never since I've owned the car, since 2007, have I checked the oil level. I just take it in to get an oil change.

Really? I've been maintaining it. I take it to get the oil changes when it's time. I think it just had a leak due to the oil ring being worn out.

I think it was very low oil going towards not having any oil. The oil was leaking.

In November 2024, I had an oil change, 2 rear tires replaced, an alignment and a new battery: $914 Then yesterday, on my way to work, in rush hour traffic, my car suddenly seized up as I was trying to make a right turn and then it died. I could barely turn the steering wheel. Let me tell you, it was terrifying because people were cursing me and threatening me. I put my hazard lights on, but people were still mad. I called the police to help manage the traffic, called my insurance company to get a tow. After 2.5 hours, the tow never came, and the police said I could no longer sit there with my vehicle. They called their towing company, and it arrived in 10 minutes. I was towed to the Honda dealership service center. Apparently, I had no oil in my car (or just a little bit). I am getting: Diagnostic: $184 Cam Plug Oil Ring (Drivers Side): $596 Valve Cover Gasket Kit: $217 Oil Change: $69 Brake Flush: $204 Battery Replacement: $170 Clean and Service Battery Terminals: $30 They also suggested the boots thing. I contacted Firestone and asked why I would need a new battery since I just got one in November. They said maybe my alternator or starter is malfunctioning.
