99 e320 - broken oil filter assembly
When changing the oil this evening I heard a crunch as I was snugging down the oil filter assembly, after pulling it back out I realized the assembly broke between the first and second o ring. So now there is a 3/4 inch piece of plastic stuck down at the bottom. Not that it matters at this point, but I'm assuming that the o ring wasn't oiled good enough and the resistance on the wall caused the plastic to snap.
- How should I get this piece out?
- I'm not going to start the car until I talk to someone, but I assume the car isn't save to drive at this point?
- Is the bottom of that hole sitting in the oil pan? Could I knock the piece down from the top and remove the oil pan to get it out?
Thanks in advance for your help.
