Damn tooth fairy!


My daughter has a Taurus.

One day she calls me that the oil light was on.

I had her check the oil. Nothing on the dipstick.

I asked her to check if there was oil under the car where she parks, not a drop.

Come to find out the oil filter had been crimped by jippy lube when they installed it

Through expansion from pressure and shut down it metal fatigued and had a pinhole leak.

the leak sprayed in a direction that did not hit the car and only while the engine was running and up to temp.


so before you say it can't happen get under there and look at everything.
