I thought about it.... Its been doing it since I took it to Jiffylube to have my oil changed... I am to fat to crawl around under there in my driveway, and atleast it gets done every 10k if I take it somewhere...
So yeah, I'm guessing if The pan is dented, they drained out the oil, and filled it back up to the "Full" line on the dipstick... If the pan is dented bad enough, I could be short 1 quart... and considering I burn a quart in 1200 miles (2.5weeks) I would have been down to 2 quarts... add a corner the equation and no oil goes in the pump... lol... I suppose I'll have to crawl under next weekend and check everything out...
Maybe? Just a thought...
My one friend recommended that maybe I cracked the pickup tube with a small dent? Who knows, I'll check it out this weekend...
