Grant 4 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Sounds like you have damaged the sump (you wouldn't be the first). You'll find out easily enough when you have a look under the car. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 3 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 Nope, just find a replacement sump from any other E30 4cyl and do it on your next oil change Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
