Stupid newbie move
I'm not necessarily new to the forum but did something stupid and have a question about it. I was using a floor jack to jack up the front of my car using the cross member. I clearly didn't have it centered and it slipped off the jack and the oil pan came down on the jack. No puncture but a decent dent in the pan near the very front closest to the balancer. Besides the obvious ugly dent should I be concerned? I started the engine and it seemed fine.
Trust me, lesson learned about the halfa@@ jack placement.
Thanks for any input,
Rik

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm okay then. I'll look for leaks over time. No noises heard. Yeah, just freaked out for a second.
And heck yes on the jack stands. I was actually jacking it up to put it on stands.
Thanks again.
