Contour Dohc I4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

First I thought the plug was loose then found out there was a tiny hole in the pan itself. Was advised I could maybe fix it cheap with a sheet metal screw and a neoprene washer. Sadly the pan is so rotten it just made a much larger hole. Pan is $48 from a dealer, gaskets are about $20 I think, the rest is an estimate of the labor.
