Default loose bolt
did an oil change today and found a goldish colored 6mm X 20mm bolt in the oil pan...any idea what it was holding together?
I'm thinking one of the 4 bolts that holds the small pan in the bottom of the oil pan...

I'll get a pic later.
I was thinking the tube was held in with a stud and nut...

I bought one of these, makes me feel better anyway. If you do change it, get a new o-ring for the pick up, and make sure its not pinched http://www.brphotrods.com/mm5/mercha...ory_Code=CNV12

The front cover removed will show the pickup tube to pump mounting point.

This^ do that first before you tear it apart. You may not need to but it doesn't look good
