Ok so heres the deal, two weeks ago i took my car into honda to have the tird gear replaced. Since then i started noticing small spots of oil on my driveway but thought nothing of it bc my dads car was leaking oil so i thought it was his car. Yesterday i take my car into honda and they tell me that the oil was from my last oil change and that the oil was just exesses oil on the subframe, but this majes no sence bc i got my oil changed two days before the gears got changed.

So this morning i wake up to a good amount of oil on the ground and take it to them again, less than an hour later they called me telling me my oil pan had a small crack in it, wtf, and they tell me that its 600 to replace it w/ labor. I told them not to touch it i want to see it, i go down there look at it and the mechanic shows me where the crack is. It is on the back part of the oil pan near the bottom of the block right in front on the mount that is down there, and i ask him how this could happen and he has no answer. I inspect the oil pan to see if i could have maybe hit it on something cause im lowered and not a scratch or a scuff on it.

I told them this is bullshit and theres no way i hit anything that im not gonna pay for it to get fixed so i had the service manager come out, and he agreed with me, but the bad part is i have 40,xxx miles on my car and the warranty is up. He said he would see what he could do as far as getting honda to pay for it.

Has anyone else dealt with this problem?
