i have a small amount of sludge build up by the oil pan on the part its 'tapped' whats going on?

my def. of sludge is oil like build up and it had a moldy like feel to it.

 

if its on the outside its prolly oil weeping out somewhere very slowly..

just wash that **** off. does this need to be a topic on how to degrease an oil pan?

 

yeah i already wiped it off, just wondering if it was anything really serious

 

oil outside of the oilpan is a big issue to me because all it takes is a busy week and slip of the mind and next thing you know your oil light is on.. Just because of that Thing you call a small leak

Don’t know if you have ever heard of a thing called road grime

I am pretty sure that’s all it is.... it’s a mixture of oil off the road and dirt and what ever else is on the road at the times you’re driving

who doesnt check their oil weekly?

a leak like that would take a year to empty the pan..

 

in my beater i don't check the oil ever, at all.

hahahaha I drove a beater CRX for 2 years.... never checked or changed the oil whole time I had it

Ran like a champ never had one problem with it (other than the dizzy).... actually sold it to a friend and its still running with no problems
