Answer
Hi sultan Berry, If you didn't drive the car anymore then damge might be minamal. Once towed to your driveway look undernieth and see what damage was done. Most likely the engine oil pan was damaged. Then call junkyards or auto recyclers where they sell used parts and tell them the year, model and engine size and see how much a used part is. Then get a shop manual and follow the directions for replaceing it. If you don't have the tools for this then you will need to have it towed to a shop. If there aren't any parts available in your area then try www.junkyarddog.com and that site should be able to help. Hope that gets you going. Bill
