changed oil, now my car leaks oil

[mofojordan]

I took my car to Firestone to get my oil changed. Two hours later, my car is leaking oil. I went back to have them look at it and they think it might be the oil pan gasket. They also said it could just be some remaining waste oil from the previous oil change. They then cleaned everything, told me to drive around for a day or two and see if new oil will leak out. Well, two days later, it's leaking. Did they f* up my car? What to do, what to do? Thanks in advance.

Can you smell burning oil? If not... it could be just the drain plug is a) loose, b) missing the gasket, or c) has a cracked gasket. I had problem C with my Camry last spring, was a dumbass and overtightened the bolt and had some seepage. So we tightened it even more... problem solved

I just changed my oil today in fact, and it's burning like a mo'fo'- my gen2 people who have taken off the filter before all the oil drained out of it know what I'm talking about! (And for those of you don't... it leaks all over the focken' block and onto the exhaust, also into the exhaust heat shield trapping it b/w the pipe and the shield! Smell lasts some time...)

If you use Toyota Filters and if you buy them at the Toyota Dealership, they recommend a new drain gasket each time.

VVT-i owns makes a good point, I always use Toyota filters and drain plugs... my ol' man is the parts manager at a Toyota dealership so I get hook-ups

Also I do all oil changes myself because unless it was a Toyota dealership I absolutely don't trust lube-joint monkeys. This is just more proof why. Sorry it happened mofojordan
