    Default Y30DT automatic, towing, broken oil pan?

    I managed to hit some metal trash on the road, looked like part of truck's brake system. In any case, oil leaked out.

    Couple of questions:

    1) can Y30DT automatic transmission be towed (maybe 20km - low city speeds) with all 4 wheels on the road and automatic on neutral?

    2) is it probably the oil pan that got hit and leaked the oil - or are there other possibilities?

    3) part numbers for probable spare parts?

    Quick googling gives number 178184 on this page:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Signum-Vectra-C-3-0CDTI-Y30DT-Olsumpfblech-Oil-Sump-Engine-Pan-178184/283330677505?hash=item41f7d30b01:g:hXcAAOSwuQhcMxO A

    Is it correct part?

    Any good advice is highly appreciated!

    Read your Owners manual.

    "Vehicles with automatic transmission *should be towed facing forwards only and
    must not be towed faster than 50 mph
    (80 km/h) or further than 60 miles (100 km).
    If the transmission is defective, or if the
    above speed or distance is to be exceeded,
    the front axle must be raised off the
    ground."

    Never seen manual for my car, so unfortunately difficult to consult it. But thank you

    Found better solution for the towing and got the car to the garage tonight. It seems problem is not with the sump pan, but with the oil filter cap. It has a nice hole in it.

    Next question: is this cap unique to Y30DT or can replacement found from some other, more common engine?
