I hate leaks. Had tranny oil changed 500 mile ago and noticed some leaks on pan. Took back and indicated bolts had loosed a bit. Two days later noticing some drops again.
Anyone have GREAT solution (other than thread locker, welding the pan on, or some other real gunky solution :>) to stop leakage?
What has most likely happened is that over time, the bolts have been overtightened trying to stop the cork gasket from leaking, this deforms the pan where the bolts go through, making the surface uneven. It can usually be fixed by laying the pan on a perfectly flat surface, and tapping the bolt holes flat again.
Lift the engine,drop the pan,install a new rubber gasket,no more leaks.Do it right the first time.
Hes talking about the transmission, vinnie.
Oh,I totally misread that.Alright then,my new answer is as follows....
Drain the fluid,clean the gasket surfaces,install a new rubber gasket,fill the tranny with new fluid and call it a day.
There,My day is complete.
Also ARP bolts for stock oil pan are like $17-20 i think a set and for some reason my old oil pan bolts worked for my spoiler on my car so keep them if you want to.
Sorry i thought you where talking about the oil pan.
