crack ??

007_e350 · 08-25-2014, 07:03 AM

hey folks, I went under the car this morning to open the oil drain plug and was surprised to see what seems like a few cracks in the oil pan I believe ... they are around the last two bolts on the oil pan right before tranny... I'll take a picture but have any of you seen this ?? It could be trans mounts I'm thinking?? Also, the previous owner had a trans leak that bmw worked on not sure if correlated here
any inputs greatly appreciated

Sometimes the way oil leaks look can appear to be a crack, try to wipe it off/ brakekleen it and see what is really going on. If its cracked def want to replace it, because the next time it hits anything it'll crack open much easier.
