About a month ago I checked my oil in Fairplay SC it was good, drove to Townsend GA
Well yesterday when I went to leave Townsend the dash said "LOW OIL LEVEL" so i added a quart and off we went.
About 100 mile later I got both low oil level and pressure warnings.. Down into the single digits PSI wise
Next oil was too far away but I put in 2 more quarts, pressure came up. But Well, indications of other issues.
A few miles out of town as we started up a hill BOOM, hole in the oil pan was discovered by tow truck driver. (Coasted to shoulder and shut down immed) Now in METTER, GA on tow hook, will go to Savannah (Garden City) for repair Monday.. HELP!! This I can not afford.
