Well, my oil pan just took a nose dive. My dad woke me up 5 in the fricken morning to let me know that there's a huge puddle of oil underneath my car. I thought it would be nothing but a bad gasket but upon further inspection it looked like a tiny puncture. I had to miss work today because of this. The last person that drove my car was my friend. He wanted to drive my car to school, because of a huge outstanding parking fine he had on his car. he didn't want to get his car towed. does ths sound right to you guys? anyways. i learned my lesson and i will never let anyone else drive my car. I'm such a bone head sorry about the long story. So what do you guys think i should do, replace it with a aftermarket or honda oem pan? the oil pan is for a GSR. TIA

 

I suggest you find a used one. Brand new OEM pans are ridiculously priced. How large is the puncture, perhaps u could weld it.

 

i had my oil pan welded since it had a pin hole sized puncture. it hasn't leaked since.

 

JB Weld it.

 

on short notice, JB weld, but please don't expect that to be a long term solution. Just weld it or get one from a junkyard, I paid $35 for a used LS pan from a junkyard, in fact, I think I may have one laying around in storage, If I can get over there to check it soon, (probably wont since there is the HT meet this weekend and then I also have to reolace my head gasket tonight and tomorrow., But if I drop by there I'll take a look.

 

thanks for your help guys. i think i'm gonna jb weld it for now. til, i find a replacement

 

When you replace it, use the old oil pan to beat your friend senseless. And then make him pay for it.
