Some quick questions..

[1993eclipseGS]

i'm going to try and make this very short.

1. Oil pan draining bolt is stripped to a circle and wont come loose, what do I do?

2. I snapped my oil line top eye bolt, The one that goes into the head from the turbo oil line. What should I do?

3.under the engine bay seems to be alittle louder than it should sound, not the engine, but the exhuast? The car has an inspection sticker that says 02, so i guess they havent driven it for a year or more, Could that be the reason it sounds different? I figured it would hafto run for a good amount of time for it to get all warmed up and everything since it has been so long?

Anyone that knows anything about any of my problems, please feel free to write a response.

Thanks alot everyone.

Rob.

Best bet is to grab another oil pan. The classifieds here would get you one right away. At any rate, drop the pan and drive it from the inside until it gets enough grip to cross its way out. Over-size, self-tapping plugs are available. And never let the car see a Jiffy Lube again.

Get an easy-out to grab the broken part and get it back out -be gentle with the threads in the head- re-tap it and get another bolt. Dealer, or, again, the classifieds here.

I can't tell about that from here.
