so my 2000 vr6 is leaking coolant and my oil pan is busted where can i find cheap parts and does anyone else find themselves bottoming out often? and is leaking coolant something that happens to people with this car?

 

For the oil pan you might try germanautodismantlers.com or specializedgerman.com for a used one. Or you can use some J.B. Weld and patch it if the crack is small enough. I don't know about the bottoming out I have a 2.0L engine. Where is the coolant leaking at?

 

I got a pan from a junk yard cause mine bottomed out on the pan, too. I had leaking coolant coming from the heater core lines, the tee fitting that went to the core and the thermostat housing. I think about $80
