Blown right front tire at 70 mph. Drove about 300 mph no problem. No oil pressure light. No warnings came on at all. A day later noticed massive amount of oil from bottom of oil pan the length of the underside. Dipstick below minimum. Dealer says they want to do a compression test thinking I have a blown engine. I don’t think so, but I’m not a mechanic. Thoughts? I have a very hard time believing I need to replace an engine with only 134k miles on it!
Update- Dodge tech says possible piston or seals leaking. Crankcase breather tube spits out oil. Breather filter blown out from excess pressure, sign of a blow by. So, I’m no mechanic I’ll admit. What am I looking at here? Rebuild? Remanufactured? Will an ‘04 or an ‘09 fit on my 2006 frame? Seems like those are “good” years. Any help greatly appreciated!
