Thanks Cheers If you do determine it is the oil pan, I recommend using a small crow bar to break the oil pan loose. I just took mine off and it was a bit of a pain but with a crowbar you can break the seal from the front. There is no solid gasket but a sticky liquid gasket must have been used. I bought permatex ultra black and put it back on tonight. There was a little panel on the driver's side that covered three bolts holding the pan on. There are three bolts holding that panel on as well. Link to post Share on other sites
subzjc 0 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I am gonna take a guess and say its not the oil pan but the crank seal on the transmission side. Dont ask me how I know. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Dockrey 97 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 It could be so many things. Oil pan, oil drain plug, oil filter that didn't get tightened properly, oil sending unit, crank seal, valve cover gasket. You really can't assume anything. You would jsut have to get under it and start trying to track where its coming from. Link to post Share on other sites
