Something doesn't add up. Sure, the cooler is damaged and leaking. But - there is no oil slick underneath the car or any indication that oil was flowing out while underway. So the oil did not exit the engine while driving. Which means that the oil leaked out while parked.

Which means two things -- (1) there would have been a massive oil slick under the car while parked, which should have been obvious and (2) low oil warnings as soon as the car was started, not miles down the road.

What am I missing here?
