Oil pan leak (Page 4/4) hunter29 SEP 11, 08:00 PM Yeah been doing that, it's getting worse, the oil was all over the bottom of the trans by the drain plug. Was never that bad. I think?? It may be coming from the U part of the pan on the trans side. Will clean it again and see. I don't really want to deal with this until next year if I can. Another five weeks and it gets parked for winter.. Thanks for your input.. flexxmi SEP 11, 08:27 PM quote Originally posted by hunter29: Yeah been doing that, it's getting worse, the oil was all over the bottom of the trans by the drain plug.

Another five weeks and it gets parked for winter.. Thanks for your input.. My Fiero-owning mechanic had to do the oil pan gasket twice, as apparently there were two different blocks for the 2.5 - one has a deeper cutout than the other around the area you mentioned, and the oil pan gasket is a four piece gasket set that comes with a piece for that deeper cutout. He used the extra piece and it leaked so he had to tear it all back apart and that's when he discovered that my block does NOT have the cutout - so that extra piece didn't seat properly in the block. My block (in that area) only gets RTV and does not require the extra "U" shaped piece that comes in the gasket set. Good luck .. just keep dumping oil in it if need be. You'll be fine until next year despite the leak provided it's not gushing. hunter29 SEP 11, 08:44 PM I may have the same thing, I can see a sloppy RTV job in that U area. Hey do you think some Great Stuff would work.... LOL.....
