Message	tube. To Zboy17: 1. Don't drive the car until you get it sorted properly. 2. Sorting it properly means getting the pan off the car (dropping cross-member with engine supported properly). 3. Yes, the above step is a bitch to do, so hopefully you will have learnt your lesson about driving over speed bumps. 4. SEARCH some of my posts in technical for some hints on how to get the oil pan off with engine in car. 5. Check pickup tube and replace. 6. Put it all back together. I figure that you probably don't have the time to do the above considering you are in school, so I suggest you park the car, take the bus until either you have the time, or have the money to have a qualified technician with experience on these cars have a look at it.
