good to hear you got it figured out and you didn't wreck anything by driving it.

After a lot of fiddling in such a small space, and breaking and replacing a vacuum T joint it's all back in order. I meant also to specifically ask, since I thought this was part of my own doing for not letting my car heat up enough, if there was anything that usually goes first in that case. It wasn't showing anything on the dipstick, that was shortly after pulling over and turning off the engine, probably three minutes. I'm assuming I probably shouldn't have drove it but it was really less than a tenth of a mile away. There seemed to be oil on the filter but not necessarily from the filter. Yes the filter was properly installed by me (small win) and yes I even returned the drain plug to its original location! So again really my apologies for the lack of info I'll try to be more thorough with my next post. And thanks for replying anywho
Good catch Matthew. No problem on the lack of info on the first post. It takes time to make some of us (ahem) happy. Glad you got it fixed with no damage.
