Anyone want to see a UOA on the oil thats left in that pan? Think there might be a bit of metal in it?
Hate to say it, but don't see anything that wrong with this...not a great end for a vehicle, or the smartest pastime, but its only one old Jeep. I mean, think of all the vehicles that are destroyed every year by accidents or lack of maintenance. This vehicle was old, and had 'lived its life', so whats the difference between this, or sending to a junkyard to leak and rust on another patch of ground?
The oil leaking on the ground isn't good, but how many old cars are there sitting in yards or on the street pouring oil out of leaky seals? North Americans are just great at being hypocrites! (And I am including myself in that category!)
