Water pump, pulleys, thermostat, and radiator hoses are replaced. Now I just need to get the belts, plugs, and struts done. Still no idea what I did to the oil pan (oh yeah, I may have cracked the oil pan).

All German cars secretly detest the need to be powered by fuels and cooled by glycols and instead wish to contain a thousand tiny clock-spring wind up gear gadgets. This clear rebellion is probably related to that.

Clearly my car is jealous of the time spent with my wife and is trying desperately to get my attention by leaking oil everywhere.

shitty aluminum pan more fragile than a box of china on a box of nitroglycerin.

I bet the shitty oil pan is at least $500 as well.

$500 plus wipped out oil pan bolt threads and only available from fcp euro on December 2020.

I really don’t want to do that job myself. I have no interest in pulling all that shit off my engine just to replace the oil pan. Ick.
