Fortunately I have a quite large pan to catch the oil. Almost all the oil
went into the skid plate, and then came out the holes in the skid plate into
my pan. End result was a bunch of little drips on the driveway when I
backed it off the ramps and onto the grass so the skid plate could finish
draining... :-)

I never found any zerks on mine either! Even took it to the dealer, made
them throw it up on a lift and "show me where the zerks are". They couldn't
find any either. Oh well, looks like we gotta deal with sealed joints now!

So, you found out the hard way too huh! hehe. The hole in the skid plate
DOES NOT line up with the stream of draining oil! I've got a HUGE oil slick
in my driveway still to this day! even spent hours with some "driveway
cleaning" stuff I bought trying to get it off! Didn't work too well! That
middle skid plate has to be removed for an oil change! (too bad you missed
my post on that subject a few months ago!)
