hello

please look at this. I have some sort of dent on the oil carter (hope this is the english name):



Is it normal or is it the result of some bump?

thanks!!!

Oil Pan...and no, it's not normal. You must of hit something.

I second that. We call it an oil pan in the U.S. and it does look like you ran over something.

not normal,but very common to be dented and no problem

thanks!

I bought the car that way. Apparently, it doesn't cause any problem. I have some oil drops sometimes, but nothing scarying. They told me not to change anything, because... the engine is running ok

If the oil pressure its ok it shouldn't matter.

Oh and in Europe the term "carter" is used when you order gaskets for the lower part of the engine ...that's oil pan ,oil pump ,o ring for crankshaft and so on.I'm pretty sure its a english word but not used in US.
