Now, run a line from the tray back into the engine and you've got a solution - like an automated version of my friend Jim's coffee cans.
 
I have to confess--I've thought of making something like this. I'm tired of oil stains on the concrete driveway. I don't care if Ruby Redcar drips a quart an hour; just NOT ON MY DRIVEWAY!!!!

Don't think I'd shell out $135 for it, though.
 
Great, just what I want to do, catch and hold flamable liquid under a hot engine. I can't wait to see what happens if you have a fuel leak.
 
Not on my driveway either, it is brick.

I like that but not 135 bucks worth. But I do like it.
 
Yea great Idea.
It can also be used to make quick get aways. When being chased simply make a high speed right turn! This dumps all the trapped oil from the pan onto the exhaust and the street. This causes the following baddy to spin out and or lose you in the cloud of burning oil!
I'm pretty sure Bond had one of these attached to the bottom of his Aston...

So ~THAT~ explains the oil spray out the back of his car!!!!


MAN, I thought I would have figured it out by now and I thought it was one of those cool Q gadgets, not the fact he was driving an English car. :wall:
 
Unfortunately, Bugsy leaves 5 spots whenever he stops for a while. Look like this this works on rear seal leak problems but would not help with leaks caused by overtightening the oil pan bolts. The DPO somehow glued the oil pan to Bugsy's 1098 and with all bolts out and a BFH Rubber Mallet could not budge it to change out the gasket. Decided time to leave well enough alone and cardboard is really cheap.
