So, I'm jacking my car up to change my oil (with a wood block because my cheap @$$ jack needs it). About 8 inches off the ground, the woodblock slips and the jack cracks this little area that looks like it's near where the transmission is bolted to the oil pan. But, there are no fluids leaking and the car is running fine. Can someone take a look at this image and tell me what the hell I've done to my car and how serious it is. Feel free to let the insults fly...I deserve it if I've F'd my car up.

 

ghetto fix = JB weld

Proper fix = Taking it to a mechanic to survey the damage BEFORE honda.
Ask someone if you throw him 20 dollars to just look it over.

While nothing is leaking NOW, Cracks + super high temps = not a good combo.

 

yep, it already started leaking...

any idea how much this is gonna cost me (at honda or otherwise)?

 

At least it wasn't your face that it fell on. Let this be a lesson to others, get a quality jack and jack stands. Check pricing for a new oil pan then go from there.

 

it looks like you just need a new oil pan 122.76 from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

 

what was your jack doing around the oil pan

 

man on man... thats a bummer, at least you weren't under the car... always jack the car up at the appropriate spots... its usually the same area on every car ( right behind the front wheels or on the frame near the engine) the owners manual is there for a reason... read it man!

the oil pan shouldnt cost much.. cross your fingers.

 

oil pan, gasket, and hondabond.

i dented up one on my crx.

people who don't know how to change oil should pay $30 and let the pros do it. you end up doing more damage than good.

 

damn

 

i was at the jack point. but my jack alone won't get the car high enough off the ground to get the jack stands behind the front tires. So, i have a wood block as a filler between the jack and the jack point. The wood block slipped and the car fell onto the jack that was still locked in place. Jack vs Oil Pan...Jack won.

 

I would just take the car into the dealership and tell them its leaking oil/fluid.

 

new pan + ultra flange 2 sealant (gasketless pan)

expect to pay around 160ish @ the dealer + parts to replace.
