[QUOTE="kissrocksforever, post: 835423, member: 12951"] Okay, So my car has been parked for a couple of months now because of the winter weather. I started it up today and heard a weird ticking in the engine, so I turned it off and checked the oil level...or so I hoped too...the bottom few inches of the dipstick was missing. I took this as an opportunity to do a small task on the car, first I tried putting a magnet down the tube, with no luck, then I managed to wiggle the dipstick tube loose, but again there was nothing inside of it. I then decided to try using my long flexible magnet thing to go right into the oil pan, but naturally, im unable to find the hole :violent1: It wouldn't be so hard if I didn't have headers getting in the way, but all im looking for is a description or picture/video of where the hole is so I could get to it. Should I go from under the car? I'm almost liking the idea of just taking the whole oil pan off ha. any advice is greatly appreciated!!! [/QUOTE]
