Hi all, general question. Mainly for piece of mind.
My brother accidentally lifted my bug from the oil pan/sump cover. I freaked out, and I quickly went under the car and checked everything seems fine, but Is there a chance something got damaged Internally? |

If your rubber trany mounts didn't rip out you got lucky.
And keep your brother away from your VW |

I can guarantee that thousands of others unknowingly have done this too....

If there's not a puddle of oil under the car... you lucked out.
