Major oil leak
I had my '86 towed last October, the starter died, figured I would just cover it up for the winter and get it fixed this spring. Uncovered it yesterday to find all the oil had drained into the dirt of my parking pad. Took a quick look underneath and it appears the dolly the tow company used for the front tires has punched a hole in the flywheel/drive plate cover? I am no mechanic and was wondering if the oil coud have possibly leaked out of this hole. If so I plan on calling the tow company and having them pay for it. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
