I own a Toyota Scion (was not listed in model names). I drove over a divider in the turn lane. I was able to get back on the road but now I notice that the oil is leaking. I don't know squat about cars so any information is extremely helpful!

Hi there,

Wash down the engine top & bottom, go for a drive and you should be able to see any fresh leaks and trace them back to the point of origin. Did you hit the sump when you went over the divider? Was there a loud metallic noise? If so you may have cracked the sump so it should be inspected before it causes any real grief.
