!@#$!@!!!! Replacing oil pan?
Ran over a chunk of asphalt on the way home and it punched a series of holes in the oil pan. I managed to get the car home before I lost pressure.
Do you have to remove the front cross member & spring to replace the oil pan? The service manual says yes, but I'd like to hear from someone that's actually done it, or has a better picture of what's in the way.

At some point they changed the pan from 1 piece to 2 piece I think. Do you know which one you have?
I can probably find a photo of each to compare.

*sigh* Not sure which one I have, but it's at the dealer now getting the dirty deed done. $1500... that could've been a race seat, harness, and a couple of track weekends. D*mn road construction.
