Dealer Oil Change Gone Bad

romoore14

O.K. here's the deal, my son took the Z in for it's second oil change two days ago and yesterday evening, just home from my last 12 hr. day shift, I get this call from him saying the Z is smoking out the sides and something is leaking underneath it! So I tell him to park it and kill the motor, I go out into the garage and discover oil on the floor! There was a pretty good amount of oil on the ground where he had parked it, so she was still leaking out when he killed the motor.

I just called the dealer and they were pushing her in, what do you folks think I should do or push for? I'm a Head Operator at a power plant, worked in numerous power plants, steam plants, refrigeration plants......hell even a few years in a refinery as an operator! So I know all about proper lubrication and how the parts in a car engine work!

First thing that came to mind for me regarding the loss of lubrication in the Z was piston rings, the cylinders, valves and the crank.
