I took the attached picture on my cell phone which clearly shows the oil pan screw missing. I figure who ever worked on the car just hand tightened the screw and forgot about it. I had it towed and went to the service center this morning. They are now trying different things to get the car running and they are working on the timing. I feel like my precious Z which I work my *** off for is now getting picked apart by idiots. I will not be satified in any way unless I get a brand new motor. I will still sell the car without a doubt because like some people I'm very anal about my stuff and when something is in perfect condition and its gets some kind of major overhaul its just never the same. I'll always hear some noise or feel some vibration that I've never heard before. It really sucks that I have to retire one of my favorites things that I have ever had in my life. Especially because some stupid mechanic couldn't remember to tighten a single bolt.
