I have a bigger canton oil pan, and I have a leak. I think I know where it is coming from...on the passenger side, there is a nut of some sort in there (not the actual place on the driver's side where the oil drains). What size hex, or anything do you put in there to get it to turn?

thanks!

Click to expand...

you had a leak from there too? it looks like a big alan wrench, but I don't have one big enough. So you just put vice grips in it, and that took care of the leak?

put the vice grips aroung the plug and take it out and put teflon tape on the threads...the white tape...it will keep it from leaking...i just did my engine and i noticed my oil pan was leaking from the same spot as yours and thats what i did...oh yea and i did it when i changed my oil so im not sure if it will leak when you take it out
