horseydug, I believe you are correct about dropping the subframe.
I got an estimate for $345 from the dealer because there's 4 hours labor involved!
I tried a length of high pressure hose to patch, but none of the clamps I had could hold it.
At least I wanted a temporary fix so I could drive (limp) to the dealer. Now I have to have it towed.
AArrgghh!
