Unfortunate Tuesday with my Mach 1 - engine oil mess (not as bad as BP)

[Deleted member 69033]

Better not drive my flathead there. They drip oil always...... Lol. This seems insane to me over a little oil. Wtf.

I'm confused here. $4000, emergency called etc.

All I see is some oil leakage?

Speedy dry and a broom. Done.

Surprised they didn't shut down the country.

Jesus, OP is having a horrible day and this is the best you can do.

And by the way, oil is considered a hazardous material. Public building, and underground parking lot. That’s what they do.

I wasn't saying it was something he instigated. I'm aware of protocol for petroleum/solvent based spills with public areas and below grade locations as well.

.....but the world is getting too soft over spilt milk. Period.

Thanks for the concern about feelings though.

Did you hit the curb? This photo shows the oil mark on it...

Looks like a very likely suspect as to a cause.

I wonder if it was partially squirting out, look how close this trail is to the wall :

It seems unrealistic to think the OP could drive that close without significant bodywork damage if the oil was only coming out from underneath ?

The 911/Hazmat stuff is complete bullshit.

I think what you are showing is the oil going down with gravity, leaving a "trail". Or I might be wrong.

Probably still Covid testing too.......

You’d probably win that bet.

in post #2 it looks like there is some damage to the left side splitter.

How did you know to stop?

 

[cerbomark]

Did you pull up and then back up to the drain for any reason? Doesn't look like a gravity trail. The wheel got sprayed too. Did you jump the curb? I m too lazy to go see whats right behind that spot. Inquiring minds want to know. I m going to guess the car took a hit on the underside front left.?

Looks like it took a hit and the oil pump is leaking.

 

[cerbomark]

or did something just come loose and it was spraying out the side??

... sawdust? Happy to live in a less civilized country if that is what progressive civilization looks like.

Really sorry for the OP, must have been a bad moment.

How is spilled oil onto a hard surface cleaned up in Italy? I'm not attacking, just curious.
