^^ what he said...
I just saw your FS thread of the car. It sucks to see you sell the car after you just bought it. I would hate to see a car with a bad reputation passed around. If you were in NY, I would just say bring the car over to my shop and I would get you patched up right away. I've dealt with leaking oil pans and there is many cheap and effective ways to deal with one with out the $4k bill the dealership handed you. I've even used JB Weld on an old slammed car and it held great for 2 years after the leak was spotted (that was when i was 17 on my driveway mechanic *****). On my motorcycle that had a cracked pan, I had a machine shop fill the crack with aluminum, and there are many places you can get that leak welded shut and the car is as good as new.
Just don't sell it if thats the ONLY issue.

i meant by when people see a large repair bill, they sell the car to another person and run away from the problem. I've had friends with cars like this where someone on the forum had an issue, sold it to one person. Person didn't want to deal with the bill so they sold the car again to someone else. There are a couple cars around that I know that had bad reputations from former owners.
I just saw your post after mine about fixing it and sellig it for a truck so disregard my post about bad rep
