ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for capturing oil dripping from the bottom of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a pan that is preferably made of a rigid material such as aluminum or hard plastic. Positioned within the pan is a pad that includes an absorbent layer, which readily absorbs oil, and a barrier layer, through which oil is unlikely to pass. The absorbent layer of the pad faces engine components that could potentially leak oil. The barrier layer faces the pan. The pad is also configured to be positioned within the pan so as to be easily replaceable once the pad becomes saturated with oil.
