Pan has been off 3 times and resealed with new gasket and finally with new pan and gaskets. still leaks.

Suggestions as to how to ensure leak is fixed?

DONT USE THE FACTORY GASKET!!!!!!! Instead just use black high temp silicone and make sure you let it sit overnight before putting oil in. I used 1 lasrge tube (12oz) I think to seal it and have had no problems. Hope this helps.

also make sure it is the pan leaking. it could also be the fittings going into the oil metering pump and oil will leak all over your pan.



im in the same boat but i dont mind leaking my stuff out, it is basically an oil change without getting dirty...

check the motor mounts..

Thats what I am going to do. Use the high temp. silicone. when you put the pan back on with the silicone don't tighten it all the way. just tighten it untill there is no spaces between the silicone and the engine.Thats probably a 1/4 inch or less. let it set over night then tighten the pan. when you tighten the pan start fron the center out. Tighten all the centers on the 4 sides and work out from there.

Look at the pan and your motor mounts. They made a revision and alot of the time the driverside mount is missing a nipple and the pan wont seal so it needs to be tapped for a 10mm bolt!!!!!!!!!!!!



You have been informed

Or just shim it.

Hasn't this all been covered before? You guys should read some of the other threads more.

Well if you like to jerry rig it. Then I guess.

Tapping it is a jerry rig solution as well.

If you are gonna get proper about it why not just replace the motor mount with a 94or95 mount?
