Greetings All:

I was doing my 13th annual winter storage prep routine today for the 'Box and in the process of changing the oil and filter (actually getting the car on jackstands first), I inadvertently placed the front passenger jackstand a couple of inches shy of the support mount without noticing it. When I went to get the car off the stands, I noticed that the stand had pinched almost completely one of two approximately 1" diameter tubes (the one closest to the outside) that runs from head to tail on the car.

I am guesting that this tube is a conduit that carries something within like a brake, radiator or electric line. After a short 6 mile drive to my storage facility (my mother in law's) , nothing was leaking and the car seemed to drive as normal.

Can anyone tell me what I crushed so I know if I need to get a repair planned next spring? Thanks.

Steve
