This car was backed off a trailer onto gravel, where the exhaust hit the ground and scooped some up. It may well have backed off uncontrolled and hit something that flipped up under it, causing all that damage. I doubt some little old lady did that. That noise you heard may have been caused by gravel and dirt in the exhaust.
Wouldn’t you just drain all the oil first before filling it so you know you’ve put the correct amount in? And not worrying about over/under filling it?
Seriously I mean no hate but there are a lot of kids working on their cars watching TH-cam shows like this and that was just downright stupid. Always drain the oil... needed to check it for metal shavings or pieces due to the damage too...
I mean you could put in 1-2k into the undercarriage and maintenance of the engine and you've got a clean title Porsche with under 20K miles. I'd consider that a homerun
The fact that you uploaded this at 2 AM in an airport after hours and hours of flight during your vacation really gives added value. Thank you for always giving us great content guys!
As many have already noted, draining the remaining oil would have been a good idea. When I used to buy old bikes cheap and work them over I would first drain the oil and then inspect both it and the oil filter to see what might have been going on, if anything. Also would pull the plugs and "read" them to see how the mix/burn was. I know pulling plugs is much more difficult in a Porsche but at least starting with reading the oil filter/oil is a good bet when checking out a potential problem motor. This applies to any possibly crapped out car/bike. You really had the Porsche light shining on you on this one!
Yeah, drain and refill. I'd even change the filter, because you can learn a lot from examining what's in the filter. I just can't believe they didn't check oil level after filling. Didn't they say it reads on dash after shutting off engine? Also, I believe the plugs on a 987 are pretty easy to get to behind the rear fender liners.
Rocks in the exhaust = backing it up on gravel tow yard or auction yard while being towed behind roll back with front end up in air and muffler dragging?
Gun shot from inside, bullet bounces off the road/floor and ricochets back to the oil pan. Car skids as driver or passenger panic and slides backwards to a stop into gravel. That's my guess.
@@JRGarage the damage is clearly of coming from the inside. If the car had somehow landed on a rock the tear would be going into the floor. Also, seems a clear lack of any other similar tears or scrapes anywhere else and the oil pan looks like it's been hit hard by something small.
13:50 you need to use a smaller rag to clean the oil off the pan.... The JB Weld should have been done from the inside. Remove the pan, clean, then apply the weld. That was it’s already on the pressurized side. Most Porsche engines use 9 qts of Oil. If this is the 2.7 liter that could be the reason for the 8 qt.
Wow. You know, I'm 43 years old and although I have always admired beautiful automobiles I have never considered looking at or buying a porsche or other fancy sports car because of the cost being so way out of my league, mostly, and like who would I be in such a fancy car. However, you make it seem like a much more attainable dream. Thank you for sharing your automotive vision. I enjoy your content.
Man that was 20 minutes of anxiety... a bit of reflection would do you both justice. Drain oil, look for metal in oil. Refill with correct amount of oil. Definitely do NOT drive this car to the porsche specialist until you have the correct amount of oil. No hate, but you could have totalled what was a perfectly ok engine just with the oil pressure.
Sometimes when the CoPart puts them on their lot the lower exhaust pipes get damaged or gravel in tips. Not a big deal. Just pull the gravel out before you drive it.
I might have drained the old oil out before adding any new. I'd want to check to make sure there were no filings or aluminum chips broken away from the inside of the impacted pan. As you described about the blown-out floor board, something blew that hole out leaving jagged edges. It would have been safer than risking an aluminum chip or chuck going through the oil sump and then the engine. But since you've had no problem on the video, you guessed right for a car you're probably going to flip.
I enjoy these super deal auction finds. It does drive me crazy that you guys always start these things without knowing oil levels or if it is hydro locked. Just drain the oil. Find out how much was in it. Then put enough in to start it and save an engine. Flood damaged cars should have the plugs removed and spun over to pump water out. And drain the oil to see if it is oil & water.
@user-od9iz9cv1w Flood damaged cars should be avoided like the Black Plague. You never know what is screwed up in the computers and electrical system and it's almost impossible to diagnose. Didn't Tavarish have a flood damaged Lambo or something that had mysterious gremlins because of flood damage?
When the car comes off the flatbed at the auction yard it scraps the ground and you get rocks in the exhaust cause the yard is gravel top. I would have never thought to vacuum the car as the first step in getting this Porsche running but it worked. LOL
It almost looks like there was a little explosion in the passenger side seat and it bounced. I would have to say that the rocks and the exhaust came from whatever tow company dropped it off the flatbed. What do you want to bet they dropped it right on the tail as quickly as they could when they were dumping the car at the insurance auction.
My wife drove over a bottle jack in the middle of the road, similar damage to what you are seeing but we ended up with a crack like yours but in the auto trans oil pan I drained the oil jacked it up JB welded the crack, refilled with oil and drove it for another three years with no issues. Just wondering why you don’t just drain the pan measure the oil volume then you would know how much was left.
I haven't read all comments, but my guess on the gravel in the exhaust was caused by backing it off of a flat bed tow and they scraped-up a pound or so.
Apparently these things don’t have a dipstick, engine oil quantity can be checked electronically, so why not check it properly before trying to drive if? Otherwise it could be under- filled or over-filled, both with possible bad consequences shouldn’t you have tried this before starting it?
The lifting location for Porsche are the sills in front onto the back shell and behind the front shell, it’s an oval shaped hole. Put hockey pucks between the Jack ; stands and the car
Why didn’t you try to drain the oil first, see how much will come out and what it looks like. Then you have a clue of what happened and know how much oil to add to avoid overfilling.
drives me nuts how manufacturers deliberately delete useful service features ..like dipsticks, ..or access to pans (another vid about a Range Rover). maybe this model has an "oil low" indicator. if one exists and is not on you're probably good to drive easy while watching oil pressure. oh, just saw that you've got a replacement pan. when that goes in all you'll have to do is measure. congrats on a great find! 🙂
So something really similar happened when I rode my motorcycle up on the curb and it tore a hole in the oil pan, scratched the fork and rotor caliper, insurance totaled it, gave us 3k and we bought it back for $600, fixed it with jb weld, never failed. Sold it for $3500
I'm kind of shocked that they are saavy enough to pick these diamonds in the rough, but didn't think to drain all remaining oil and then fill to correct amount. Sounds shady to me. Then again, if I can know to drain, why dont I go pick out a diamond?....lol
How to literally test EVERYTHING that in no way whatsoever helps to isolate or confim the problem you fear... start immediately by windexing windows as you free think all your worst fears aloud, then check nonsens things like interior cleanliness and exhaust tips. For the record, the things that start a car are: fuel (pressure, flow, and octane), spark (plugs, wires, distribution, starter, battery life, amp and connection), timing (cylinger location, belts, compression and surface), and air (intake, filtration, EGR actuation, vaccuum and turbo). But first, you could just put the key in the ignition and see what happens 😀
My son bought a repossessed house from a bank auction. It was cheap but it was a nice house. It wasn't until he took possession that he found that the ex-owner had poured sand in all the drains. WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE THE DRAINS APART AND CLEAN OUT THE SAND AND HE SOLD THE HOUSE LATER FOR A $40,000 PROFIT. I would see if the exhaust is full of those rock chips.
I've seen rocks and dirt in exhaust of a BMW 528 at auction. Car was sharp too. Mind boggling. I believe it's done either deliberately or car could had been submerged under water. Hard to say.
@@danrook5757 I've seen squirrels do that to a long stored Lambo or maybe it was a E-type. Can't remember which. But anyway, the tailpipes were full of acorns.
Don’t worry about the rocks in the exhaust that’s where the previous owner accidentally backed into a gravel pile during photography. (I did exactly the same with my E30)
The main problem about overfilling seems to be that it can foul the cats. In other words, just emissions. I'd rather be a quart over than 2 or 3 quarts under.
The rocks in it exhaust is from the loader picking it up at Copart or tow truck dropping off at location.. so I'm putting my bet down on the dragging and it'll load up the rocks and the exhaust due to the angle
I would imagine any half decent welder would be able to fix the cracks in that floor pan remove it a little light hammer work to straighten it out and for a couple of hundred bucks and a bit of your time a lot cheaper than replacing the whole thing. Is there no oil dipstick?
Lots of wrecked Boxsters with body damage. Get the used part from eBay. Much cheaper than having it professionally welded and the value of the car is undiminished.
JRGarage great channel. Quick question - I have a 2001 Boxster Cabriolet that I can't get to pass inspection for new sticker, two unready Emissions Test Results for Monitors 1). Catalyst and 2). 2nd Sys., any suggestions to remedy without the cost of $6k to replace both Catalytic Converters? Any suggestions very much appreciated. -Texas Fan-
You’re saying the monitors haven’t checked in yet? After you replace the battery or clear check engine lights that will always happen, they reset. It usually takes around 100 miles to have them all check back in. If you don’t have any check engine light once everything is checked in, you will pass emissions.
If the oil pan can be removed it would be very easy to fix by welding up the crack. !!why didn't you just turn it over without starting it with the ignition disabled to get oil circulating so it's prelubed before running the motor??
They make these things called moving boxes I buy extra large ones at Home Depot for a couple of dollars I cut them open they make great thing to drive your car over when it's leaking oil or do an oil changes so you don't get oil on the floor I have used them for many years
My 981 was having a major issue as well recently. I found the bolt on the side of the battery would not screw all the way down and it was causing the startstop, steering loss to pop up and I used a different bolt and its now fixed. Dealership wanted me to wait two months to check the car and $140.00 to look at it. Remember also the car will throw a ton of codes when the battery gets super low. Get the car to temperature. Check the oil level on the dash and recheck the codes
@@janlala1710 because it causes the car to go into limp mode. Causes the start stop to not work as well as no sport mode and powersteering. Causes the car to have other issues as well.

Buying unseen car, going under it with out jackstands, your oil ideas. Someone should be broke or dead. Hopefully just broke.
How do you guys not have a lift?
They have no money for that 😁
I’ll wager it’s because that’s an airport hanger and they’re not allowed to install one :/
Probably correct, and I bet the rent is cheaper off airport grounds. Next warehouse?
Yes, but there are lifts with counter balance. No need for anchors.

Yea JB WELD
and why purchase a new pan yeahhhh JB WELD
Next time, just remove the sump, tap out dent and take to shop to aluminum weld the cracks. Last time I did this cost $20 (long time ago)..
Rocks in the exhaust = backing it up on gravel tow yard or auction yard while being towed behind roll back with front end up in air and muffler dragging?
Yep
Exactly what I was gonna say.
Gun shot from inside, bullet bounces off the road/floor and ricochets back to the oil pan.

Isn't there a paraffin test for gun powder? Hole looked shot gun size.
Pretty plausible to me … is there a hole inside ?
You have to definitely start writing movies
The gravel is 100% from being lowered into a gravel lot from the flatbed look at the scuffs under the tip
That’s the first thing I thought.
Exactly...
I figured someone backed it up into a pile of gravel.
Or "Rock Squirrels". You have to watch out for Rock Squirrels. Tough little guys ....

Why wouldn't you just pull the drain plug to see how much oil was in it?
Exactly. Just adding oil is not good
The rocks in the tail pipe are usually when a tow truck drops it they had the bed too high and crammed the pipe into the gravel at a lot.
Man that was 20 minutes of anxiety... a bit of reflection would do you both justice. Drain oil, look for metal in oil. Refill with correct amount of oil.

No. No
You lucked out so hard. Just an oil pan? That’s so lucky
you can buy a dip stick, the whole where it goes is just plugged i got one for mine

Good deal! You can weld an aluminum oil pan no problem
Forget a new oil pan, weld up the old one for $200 or less if you can weld
Rocks would be when it was unloaded from the rollback, exhaust would of dug into gravel.
The main problem about overfilling seems to be that it can foul the cats. In other words, just emissions. I'd rather be a quart over than 2 or 3 quarts under.
Why wouldn’t you just drain the oil and refill it instead of guessing??? *lol I was 2 seconds early
Just drain the oil sump, measure it and you can tell how much oil was lost.
why didn't you drain the oil? That way you would have known how was in it.
The rocks in it exhaust is from the loader picking it up at Copart or tow truck dropping off at location.. so I'm putting my bet down on the dragging and it'll load up the rocks and the exhaust due to the angle
Draining the sump seems a much better idea than futile prayer.
Car backs off trailer or truck at an angle into gravel. Boom you get gravel in exhaust
Just backed up against a gravel berm. No big deal. Check the carpet inside for GSR
That damage in the floor is from a gun shot
I don't see how there could be many other explanations with that outward damage.
No start tag was from the car dealership the owner sent it to. It's very typical to do that since cars in the lot get moved by all sorts of people.
Come on! Your shouldve first bled out oil and after that fill it… such newies!!!
they lifted the car with a forklift at the salvage auction... and that dented the bottom.
It would make sense to open the drain plug first and see if anything comes out. If not then fill it, minus what should be in the filter and start it.
The Porsche has it run in awhile so of course it's going to take awhile for it to warm up and lubricate
13:47 Same thing 92-97 GM LT1 owners say about leaks.

Rocks in the tailpipes won’t affect the engine running! Now rocks in the inlet manifold, (boy, then you are in trouble!)

The rocks maybe from when the car is taken off the tow truck. The angle scoops up rocks when rolling back
