Suggestion
I would definitely check the park brake and under the rear bumper for scraping
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Edit Today:
RMS seems to be leaking. Pics attached - wicked frustrating. My optimistic self is hoping the pan was hit and shimmied for a second, but I don't think so.
Sucks because I don't have a benchmark. I haven't been under the car in a while so this leak could've already been there, or it was in fact from the motor making contact with the ground as it was front-towed (open for opinions on that).
I have a damage report with the PPA.
I
do know this part of the car was bone dry around 98K when I did my last oil change
. I've driven ~6K since then. I have to believe this leak came from it being towed/hitting the ground so I might be able to bill them for a new RMS and a general lookover.
OP:
Towed by the Philadelphia Parking Authority yesterday morning. They did not put the rear end up on a dolly and simply front-towed it through Philadelphia to the PPA lot on Columbus Blvd. Total distance towed was 4 miles. Supervisor said all tow drivers are trained to put cars like these on a dolly, and this guy did not. They had the head supervisor come out and talk to me too and insisted I open up a damage report - he was a car nut as well so he felt bad....
Edit/Delete: car was front-towed when should've been dolly'd. Damage report with PPA that will hopefully pay for a new RMS or whatever else may be wrong with it.
I have also paid many thousands of dollars to the PPA, glad to be out of the city. Anyway, if your plan is to milk the city for the damage they did not do (pretty sure towing the car could not cause bore scoring, etc.), I would not post that plan on a public forum. No judgment here (especially since I do not pay Philly taxes anymore), just thought I would mention it.
Sorry to hear about this.
One of the best days in the last 20 years was when I was able to transfer out of Philadelphia.
Higher salary and no wage tax.
And since then I�ve tried to avoid the city unless it�s necessary.
But last week I attended an event in Philadelphia.
Such a pleasure to drive down a street with wheelie popping kids seeing how close they get their bikes to my car while German helmet wearing morons on ATVs cut in front of me at the next light.
Philadelphia gets the parking authority it deserves
Yeah, to anyone that actually rides (I don't, but have) - these guys in Philly rip around on 450cc bikes and pop wheelies/do tricks like it is
nothing -
you know you've lived here too long when you look at that and actually see it as impressive and not annoying.
Yeah, I'm just pointing to the areas where the motor made contact with the ground in those pics. No question oil is coming from where the trans meets her.
Do you think he could've hit something hard enough to literally cause the RMS to leak? The marks I'm pointing to don't look bad, but I guess you never know.
just making sure you saw the part about this being the Philly parking authority towing the car. They took it through center city on this type of angle with the *** down like that.
I agree, unless the car was in gear for the four miles. The crankshaft is what the seal is for and that wouldn�t have been turning unless the car was in gear, now the transmission input shaft seal may be where it�s coming from with the angle of the tow. Even if it was possibly in gear the oil pump would be turning generating oil pressure lubricating that seal.
If Phila is anything like Chicago you will get lip service. Prove what you can only prove and don't hold your breath. You got a better chance of winning the lotto.
Like some of the others, I see a pre-existing oil leak and some minor scrapes and scratches. 4 miles is not far enough to damage anything internally unless the car was in gear.
If the car runs and drives as normal, I'd say no harm done. See if you can get a few bucks for the minor cosmetic damage.
