Oil pan bolt stripped...
I put my S2 up on the lift trying to chase a minor oil leak that i noticed and believe that it's a stripped oil pan bolt.

Heli-coil would work fine there. Probably need to pull the pan to do it right though...

The reason for pulling the pan off is that you will have to drill out the hole so the heil-coil can be installed.

Good idea, or a stud you can bottom out, then use a nut.
Threads are standard M6 -- helicoils, studs and bolts available at your local hardware/auot parts stores.
