I put the pump on mine and bolted down the pan. I added oil and found out that the oil pump bolt pushed through the pan. Wow what a leak !!!!!!! You can either grind down the pump bolt or use the stock pump bolt. That should take care of the problem. Dont do what I did. I was lazy and just put RTV around the hole in the pan. I just didnt want to take the oil pan off again. It doesnt leak though.
