    i am pissed

    i just dropped the old oil tube seal inside the pan. my question is do you think i could get it out from the drain plug or do i need to take the whole pan off again?

    If there is no oil in there break out a flexible led light and put it in through the drain tube and a clothes hanger.

        Boroscope + long bent up coat hanger (no paint... it will flake off) plus bendy light FTW.

        PS: Take out the level sensor and go in that way.

            It's not even my engine and I feel relieved lol. I think you have to have removed/installed an oil pan to know why.
