Storing a car=leaking oil pan??
Hi,
The original link is here http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=199974
The dealership told me that if a car is stored for a long time, the oil pan gasket can harden and leak oil... my car is 1995, and has been stored consistently (69,000KM on the car)... is it true? Or is there something else I should be worried about??
Thanks,
James

do not cross post from one forum to another.
you have a thread in member's rides talk, which is an appropriate enough forum for that thread.
