Abstract
An automotive drip pad assembly having an elongated drip pan with an oil absorbent pad attached to its top surface. The drip pan has a front wall, a rear wall, and laterally spaced side walls that form an open top container. Cylindrical bosses on the walls of the drip pan have vertical bore holes that receive the inner ends of four tie wires that are attached thereto. The outer ends of the tie wires are attached to fixed structural members on the under side of the vehicle. The drip pan can be positioned beneath the vehicle anywhere oil or oil related products leak.
