So i was up under the car putting the o/r h-pipe back on after i was done with the C/C plates. there was oil all over the freakin place. i'm look around for where it was coming from. i found it to be from the oil pan gasket. it pushed out from pan seal. I loosened up that side of the pan a bit, pushed it back in, and shoved in some black silicone stuff. pretty much the whole drivers side as best i could with it. I tightened it all back up. I haven't checked for any leaking yet, but will this hold? and for how long?
it looks like the passenger's side was done like this before. there is grey stuff all along the seam. I never noticed it until today. I really really really don't want to have to pull the motor for that. but if i have to does felpro or somebody else make a better oil pan gasket than a stock ford one? is it worth replacing the whole pan with a better larger one? anything else info wise would be helpful.
