So to make a long story short a couple months ago I struck an object in the road with my Golf R which broke the oil pan, spewing my freshly changed oil all over the road. I of course chut the car off as soon as I got stopped by the side of the road. Once off there was still oil draining from the broken pan. I wasn't worried at that point.
However when the tow truck turned up the guy started the engine for a few seconds. And this is what worries me. This was about an hour and a half after the incident so by then anything that was going to drain out had.
The car is FINALLY getting fixed tomorrow though it needs some light body work also before I have it back.
So do I have a valid concern? Do you think the engine may have suffered any internal damage from this? Or the turbo? Thoughts? Thanks for reading
