Thread: oil pan drop

mine was so bad, that i had motor oil dripping off both sides of the trans pan.

the oil pan was soaked all the time. so i did the covers, and then 3 days later it started to leak again, thought it was the pan at that point again lol, then rtv'ed as much of the pan gasket as i could, re cleaned the engine, and found the new VC leaking on the back again, i over tightened the bolts it seems.

my leak is so small now, it hardly bothers me lol

The bolts have a sleeve on them that stops them. You should have snapped one if you overtightened it. We both know you are capable.

with a flash light after cleaning the block with a rag and brake cleaner, i see oil wetness running down the block. so i f'ed up some how.

it will have to be redone when i do the lim gasket someday. my one lim bolt looks like its crying when the engines good and hot lol.
