ABSTRACT:
An automotive engine oil drip pan assembly comprises a pan containing a pad which has a preference for absorbing oil over water. The pan is constructed with a depression forming a locator for the pad. The assembly mounts on an automotive engine and powertrain combination with the pan disposed directly below the bell housing area so as to catch and collect oil which may leak through the engine rear bearing and seal. The pad is provided with a recess forming a collection volume for oil which drains through an opening in certain engine and powertrain models. The pan is suspended by means of flexible cords from brackets which are attached to the engine through the use of pre-existing fasteners used to fasten the powertrain's engine. Releasable fasteners are also used to provide for release of the pan assembly for replacement of a used pad.
