The mechanic didn't remove the 2 piece oil pan. I drove a few hours away to look at the car so this mechanic isn't someone I knew. The seller also didn't know who he was. I didn't want him to do a complete analysis of the car and just told him to look for any leaks or anything that stands out. He found the leak but was unable to trace it but he did say that he could tell it had been "let go" for a while as well as needing new brakes. The owner just drove it. 2005 coupe 38k miles. The driver side visor won't stay up, side mirror **** is broken off, the outside silver windshield border is faded out and there's a few oxidation areas on the car. These are little things that could easily be kept up and I'm thinking if she didn't care to fix little cosmetic things then how much nedglect is under the hood!

It's a beautiful car and I was always taught to take care of the car if you expect it to take care of you.
