Every time I change my oil I always hate looking at the pan area because it's one big gunk filled sludgescene. I'm sick of worrying how serious the issue is so I'm hoping you guys (especially Randy or svttech) could help me with this...Here is what the pan area looks like...




Does all that crap look like it could be a semi-major leak going on down there or what? I have to add at least a quart every 3k, it seems to vary. Exhaust from what I can tell doesn't have any blue tint to it. I just added one of those cans of lubricant/seal type crap in hopes that it would help if it was ring related.

Also, would you say I'm leaking some tranny fluid here? It's pinkish in color...

the redish fluid is trans fluid check to see if it is not leaking form the connections at the radiator

As for your oil leak might be from the oil filter housing, oil pan or front crank seal

I think the pan is leaking because everywhere around the gasket is crudded up with that crap. I don't want to remove the front cover just to fix it though so I guess it'll just continue for now
