Hi:
I have to replace the oil pan gasket 2 times in the last 6 months. Yesterday was the last intent and i found thar torque oil pan bolt to 5 Lb-ft......gasket leah.
Torque to 7 Lb-ft....gasket leak.
Torque to 9 Lb-ft gasket leak again.......but when torque to 7 Lb-ft the gasket comes out from the border.
I inspect the border of oil pan, im foun there are a lot of bend on the bolt areas......... actually the border its not straight and level.

Maybe its the problem of leaking.....bad oil pan??
here a couple of phoos for reference....any help and comments will be appreciate.
regards

 

Your oil pan might be warped.
