Hello all,

	I have a tech question for you all. I've heard of "Dry sumps" for oil and 
my understanding is that the oil is not stored underneath the engine block 
but somewhere else where the oil pump circulates it back to the engine thus 
negating the need for an oil pan. My Question is if my thinking is wrong ( 
no flames please :^) )or right, how does this work ? and why don't all cars 
use this system? . I've heard it mentioned it is used on Porsche's and 
maybe race cars but nowhere else. Please enlighten me. TIA
