Being a professional means you are paid.

That doesn't mean I'm good. It means I'm paid.

Most materials shrink in cold. Rubber gaskets harden and shrink and leave gaps.
Keep an eye on your oil level.
You'll probably be fine. Maybe need to tighten oil filter? Might have another oil leak that you've never noticed before because you've never left the car idling in the driveway before.
What kind of car? If it's one I'm familiar with, I can give you suggestions of where to check for leaks.
Looking forward to payday for this week.
I had already been on the schedule for over 60 hours (typically work 54-60/week) and then went in Sunday, got stuck there through Monday night. Still have 4 more 12 hr shifts this week and I've already got 48 hours as of tonight. 56 hours of overtime, yes please. Next week I'm scheduled 60 as well.
It's a 97 Stratus with 207K miles.
...I got nothing.
Keep an eye on it, i'd bet it's just the extreme cold causing greater shrinkage than normal.
But, greater shrinkage/movement means the gaskets may be more brittle now and you'll be leaking from now on. Just watch it, if you can locate the leak later, decide if it's worth fixing or not. Might be as simple as the old oil filter gasket stuck to the block when the new filter was applied. Could be worse.
I'm not famililar with that car, so I can't offer any specific suggestions.

Which doc? I'm looking for one for my tinnitus too.I decided if I was going to b**ch in another thread about people going out for nonessentials on bad roads, I'd better practice what I preach. I had a doctor's appointment in Merrillville (ENT for the tinnitus), and the roads were not good, so the gun can wait.
In other news, does anyone know why Broadway was closed south of 113th in Crown Point tonight? There was a barracade and a CP police car parked across the road.
