Advise and help needed
Hello all, i have a couple of questions. Well i'll just get to the point very fast. Tonight my little brother and i were screwing around in a very slick parking lot, all was going well untill i was offered to drive my little brothers car. To make a long story short, i ended up sliding into a curb. We think we were going around 8 to 10 miles per hour at the initial point of cantact. The air bags did not go off. So heres the problem, the car lost All of its oil, we have not realy looked under the car too much as he is tired and i am literally sick from this. i had the car towed to the garage where i work and i will be over there right afterschool tomorro. Oil pan and or lines are suspected to be mangled in my mind at this point. I know its late but are there any sites and or helpfull information you guys could provide to help me out here, i will do a search right now but i figured i would start here. Thanks in advance for the help.

hey guys, yesterday we got the car up on the lift and found that i cracked his oil pan. The oil pan should be delivered today, he had planned to change his oil this weekend anyway so i have saved him the dainage part
. I think he is going to strive to get his valve cover gaskits soon so we may just let the car sit for a while then just put it in service mode one night at the shop and get it taken care of. I will be paying for parts and im hoping he will want to work on it with me as far as labor or i will just pay the shops head tech to do it. Ill also post some befor and after pictures of the detail that i will be doing for him in the show and shine area. He and the guys at the shop will make sure i never live this one down.
