auditech79... do u have any clue what the problem might be? before this oil change there was never oil spilling.... do you think that the oil plug is loose?

do you mean the drain plug? it would take less than 5 seconds to get down under your car and check whether or not its loose....

The plug is on the passenger side. Look under there and its obvious. Simple fix as already stated, wash out the subframe and around the motor including around the drain plug. I know that I let my motor cool all the way down overnight then next morning went out and hosed it down and made sure everything was all clean and oil free. I run the motor a little bit to warm it up and then go for a drive maybe 10miles and then come back and check around the drain plug. If its gonna leak it will show a little drip.

thanks for all the help... i feel relieved now... i checked my oil level this mornign and it was fine... even tho my dipstick is broken... but i knew where it should be from before...

ecstunning.com it is for the new dip stick!

ok i have a question on what to get.... should i get the dip stick,the funnel thing that the dip stick goes through, and the extension tube? im not really sure what exactly is broken... [&:]

Hello, I think I just had the same problem with my broken dipstick. Im pretty sure that its not the dipstick itself that if broken but rather the tube extension. It's the "ring" that secures the dipstick in the tube. It's a cheap part, product number ES#1501 on ecstuning.com . Just make sure that u have proper oil level when u fix the dipstick. When I fixed mines, I was WAY LOW! Good luck!
