After changing the oil I noticed a quarter size rust bubble on the side of the oil pan about 1/2" from the bottom. I took a rag and wiped it off in an attempt to spray some paint on it but as soon as I wiped it the new oil started running out at a slow drip. I ultimately ended up replacing the oil pan. After I had the pan of it looked like the pan had been painted with rust on the outside. The inside of the pan was fine but I had 10 or 15 rust spots that were bubbling under the paint.
