It looks as if my oil pan gasket isnt doing its job. I have never taken it off before, why would it be leaking? It seems to be leaking a lot. Do you think factory warranty would cover it? My motor looks definitely modified, but do you guys know if might be worth asking the dealer to do it?

might as well take a shot and check with the dealer.

 

gasket.. mine did the same.. Jack up the car to be sure, wash everything with detergent then go for a hard strap.. make sure its the oil pan then consider replacing the gasket.. not too hard just afew 10 mm bolts!!!

good luck

 

I just sprung a leak last week, I thought it was the from the filter but I replaced it and checked the gasket nothing...
I now am monitoring the oil pan after cleaning up the mess down there.

Where and what exactly is the "oil pan gasket"? Are you talking about the bolt on the bottom of the pan used to drain the oil?

 

just do it yourself, its really not a big deal. it is a pain in the *** because my oil pan gaskets keep leaking! i wonder if it because im reving to 9300?
