Maybe, but surrounding them with "the problem with you" and "you're dumb" just makes you look arrogant and distracts from your points as is illustrated by the defensive response they invoked. It's not like "you're dumb" is witty or clever here. It's just 1st grade name calling. You should be using at least 8th grade name calling by now. Frankly, I think you are in denial about your problem and should get counselling forthwith particularly since you seem to be in denial about your wife and house. Next thing we know you'll be burning down the house and acting all psycho killer on us.

and yes I'm having a boring day at work today

and no this isn't helpful either. Sorry.

So just to make up for that.

Seol - just make sure you top up the oil before driving it anywhere and make sure it is holding oil. If it won't hold oil don't drive it, have it towed. If that means SC is the only practical choice then use them. Only consider going further afield if you are confident the oil loss is slow enough to get there safely. In any case take oil with you. I think the engine holds about 4.5 quarts and L to F on the dipstick is about .5 of a quart.

Since you need oil anyway you might go to the nearest oil change place and have them take a look. Could be they can fix it easily.

Don't worry too much about the warranty thing until you know what the problem is. Chances are it's something obvious but if you screwed up well that's life.

seOul,
It should be easy for you to take some newspaper or a rag and clean off around the area that
you dented on the oil pan. Then run it for a minute or two and check back that same area to
see if oil is leaking there. Since the oil pan is so low, chances are your leak might be from somewhere
else higher up. Listen to gotwrx and be sure there is enough oil in there (not too much, that's bad
too).

 

RESULTS: yea i was bout to go to carslen subaru, so i put few quarts in before i was going to leave (with other oil in the car just incase). after i turned on the engine to warm up i looked under the car and the oil was just like literally spilling out like a sink. so i turned off the engine- it stopped leaking. the leak was definately coming from the filter. so yea it was luckily a very simple problem- i canceled my apointment, picked up a new filter, and replaced it. there was a crack in the rubber gasket on the filter (<--reason i believe why it leaked really bad) but yea after i replaced it, everything was all good- no leaks. right now my car is in the shop (dads friend) to clean out my engine for free =) no oil pan ding problem whatsoever.. Thanks for your support people! =)

glad it turned out to be something simple.

 

That is good to hear...was it an OEM (Subaru) filter?

 

99.99% of the time a bad gasket on an oil filter is caused by not properly lubricating the o-ring and over tightening. Next time take some fresh oil, lube the o-ring and hand tighten the filter. There is really no need to crank on it with a filter wrench when installing a new one. If you get it good and tight by hand, the rubber will vulcanize to the sealing surface by pressure and heat. That is why a hand tightend filter usually needs a wrench to remove it. BTW: change your own oil. It's super easy and you'll be certain it's done properly. If you don't know how next time around ask some one I'm sure someone will SHOW you how. I have always had a rough time trusting my car to a bunch of high school dropouts in a pit.
