dpuma8 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I have pulled my L28ET out and there is oil all over the outside of the oil pan. The strange thing is no oil ever spilled onto the ground. So is this something that a machining shop can fix or do I need a new oil pan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Take it to the machine shop and have them resurface your oil pan gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeiss150 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 oil on the bottom of the oil pain could be coming from any where. the road, the valve cover, a main seal, the oil pain gasket, oil filer, it could be lots of different things. if its from the oil pan gasket, you can try to re-tighten the bolts and see if it stops. if it is the oil pan gasket its easy to replace. just take the bolts off, remove the pan, flatten out the raised bolt holes (this is very important, because the new gasket may not seal if you don't) and then put the pan back on with a new gasket and tighten the bolts. if you still have a leak after that... its has to be comming from somewhere else. Good luck! Matt- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
