I can only assume as much. I didn't crawl underneath enough to really see. I know there was a hairline crack right on the front bottom edge. Last time I had the car in the shop that edge was ground down and welded. I can't see anything obvious other than a bit of oil on the bottom of the pan. Certainly nothing that would indicate the kind of leak found on the garage floor!

If not the leaded edge of the bottom of the pan my other thought is that the pan rubbed or is rubbing on the crossmember. When the motor comes up to replace the pan I am going to go ahead and put on a solid driver-side motor mount. Not sure that the motor is torquing over but I'd rather get that out of the way as it has been sitting on a shelf for a while now waiting for a reason to go on.
