Torqueflite Question

A drip pan is a large shallow pan that people place under their cars to catch drips. I've never heard an oil pan referred to as a drip pan; maybe it's a helicopter thing? but I doubt it. I'm not a mind reader and it isn't one of my goals. If it's an oil pan, why not call it an oil pan? What's the problem there?? And here we have more people guessing what the leak could be. Sure, just tear it all apart, but I'll be jumping on you when it still leaks after you replace all those things. Sympathy will not be tolerated.
