![]() I'm assuming the pan has been off before because of the way you describe the seapage. See if any of the bolts are loose. If they are see if snuging them helps. If/When you remove the pan check the bolt area for dimpling on the engine side of the pan. To do this, take a straight edge, lay across the bolt holes ( ruler/scale should cover 4 holes minimum, 6" rule works ) and see if the pan is dimpled. If it is take a small hammer and gently work the pan mating surface flat. Many light hits are superior to few heavy hits when it comes to metal working. Enjoy learning to maintain your own vehicle. Many "mechanics" aren't and tend to screw things up through .... incompetance. Or lack of caring. Or because of that Flat Rate Thing. From what I have seen, many "Shade Trees" are capable of better work than many mechanics because Owner Operators ( ; ) ) will take the time to do the work correctly because they can take the time. |
