I bought a junkyard d16y8 and installed it. I thought it was a dent on the rear of the oil pan, but as soon as I filled it with oil it started leaking. It is probably from coming in contact with a bolt on the subframe just behind it, either in an accident or when the junkyard pulled it. my question is how do I fix it? Is the oil pan pressurized, is this something that will have to be welded, or can I just quick steel it?

u'd want it welded. You dont wanna start having a leak and then leak all ur oil and then seize ur motor.

ccjustin

is the oil pan steel or aluminum? I'm going to have to pull it off to have it welded right?

dont try to fix it just buy a new oil pan easy to instal and and cheap dont half *** it when it comes to your motor

Just buy a new pan or get one from the junkyard.

I don't get it, if it's dented, it's obviously not holding the proper ammount of oil, and it's leaking and crap..why not juts by another oil pan? They should be cheap enough for the D series...
