Hit a big dip last night!!!

[BigAnt]

So last night while I was out with friends. I was going to the highway entrance. I never took this entrance before. It's at an intersection and hit the biggest dip going around 15mph (The dip was shaped like a V, it seemed pretty deep). There were three people in the car including me. I am lowered on Tein S-Tech Springs.

I think I cracked my oil pan because I was low on oil this morning before I went to my uncle's house. I checked the oil when I got there it lost more oil. I hope something got loose and I didn't crack my oil pan. The thing is also I left the car on and pushed it on netural to see if it was leaking but I didn't see any oil in the ground.

why dont you jack your car up and look, instead of just guessing and doing nothing about it?

Maybe it just got smacked and you lost oil the moment you hit the dip? Overall, inspect the pan for any damages. Worst comes to worse, you just replace the pan.

^^ but its so much easier to guesstimate, none of that "going outside" crap...

Well I am going to mechanic tomorrow no matter what. I am replacing my window regulator, so I will ask him to raise the car and see if there is anything wrong.

As for jacking up the car, my jack that came with the car broke. So I need to go buy one (a better one) from an automotive store.

if you were low on oil and went to your uncle house and checked again, of course you are going to be more low on oil. cause your oil pump is pumping oil to lube the whole engine system. what im trying to say is that you're suppose to check your oil in the morning when all the oil is back in the oil pan.

If I was driving the car. I let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then I check the oil. I will check again in the morning before I go to school.

10-15 mins dont get all the oil in the system back down to the oil pan..

Wouldn't a cracked oil pan leak like crazy? I've had bad oil pan gaskets and even that's noticeable. When was the last time you checked your oil level besides today? You didn't just check it this morning after months because you THINK you hit the oil pan right? My cars pretty low too and I don't think I've ever hit the oil pan hard enough to cause some damage, the chassis should protect it and take the impact way before the oil pan.
