well, i tapped my oil pan about a week ago and it was working fine. but after few days, i saw very small leak, very minor. but tonight, when i was driving i smelled an awful smell. when i got home, i popped the hood and found out my engine bay was covered in oil.
my freaking barb in the oil pan came out! the nut was tight on the other side so i dont know how it got loose. i was running around trying to figure out a way to patch up until i get it fixed. i patched it with jb weld and a penny. i hope it will hold up until i get time to get underneath it to put tap back in. last time i just used gasket sealer to seal it but next time, im going to jb weld it or actually take oil pan off and get it welded on (going to try jb weld first due to less troublesome) i had to take off crossmember and tranny heat shield to get oil pan out, i dont feel like doing that again but word of advice, dont tap your oil pan and depend on a nut to hold it in. i learned the hard way. |
