I have a '96 850 GLT with 192,215 miles. I took it to get an oil change. A week later there was oil on the ground and it was a quart low. I took it back to the shop and they said that it had two little hairline cracks the oil pan and that oil was weeping out. They wanted to replace the oil pan then and there, but I didnt notice them with my naked eye so I just took it home to see if it would leek anymore. A week later after several days of long distance driving, there is no oil leak at all that I can decipher and the oil level is normal. I can get a used oil pan for like $125 just in case. Should I wait or have the work done? Any advice?
