I would post this in the Series I Troubleshooting but it won't let me.

2004 Mazda RX8

So long story short after replacing the spark plugs, and forgetting the car was in drive, I wound up with the jack I was using up under and into the oil pan. Pictures attached. So far it doesn't seem to be leaking at all, and from what I can tell looking at pictures of the interior of the oil pan thankfully it doesn't look like the dent would be where the pickup is.

Edit: I was thinking the oil sensor was the pickup. I actually can't seem to find anything that shows where the pickup actually sits or hangs into the oil pan. If anyone knows please let me know.

I wanted to see what anyone more experienced thinks however before deciding to keep driving with it or look into a replacement. Thanks.

More Edit: I was able to find one picture of what I believe is a 2004-2006 RX8 with the oil pan off. It's hard to get a good idea of depth, but judging from the bolt holes the pickup tube appears to hang either next to the sensor or possibly between the raised parts of the baffle?

 

What year is your car?

 

Whoops, added that to the post. It's a 2004 RX8.

 

I would replace it if it were mine.

 

Thanks, I will be replacing it. Managed to find the ONE in stock oil pan in Atlanta apparently. Now I'm hoping it won't be to difficult to replace.

 

Well good thing I didn't try to take it anywhere. Oil strainer tube was smashed as well.
