There was probably way more metal but the pan bolts weren't on very tight. So my theory is the previous pulled the pan, said "oh ****" buttoned it up, over filled it with new fluid.
Then sold it without disclosing anything only to be discovered when it wouldn't back off the trailer.
It's OK, we're not even going back, thing was cheap enough, had he disclosed that info the vehicle would still be here. (It's not mine, a friend) (probable LS swap) ***rolls eyes*** you know these GM types.
Now we know what the score is and to time move forward.
