Had a oil pan leak at the front gasket area. Dropped the pan, and resealed it...did'nt work. I need to try to seal it from the outside now. What sealant has everyone used for this??? Thanx

 

make sure its clean and dry. crame so red high temp rtv up in there. works sometimes on the hummvs lol

 

did you try to put on a new gasket? i would rather go that route before half assing it..not trying to bash you but usually doesnt end well. and make sure its all lined up perfect, good luck

 

JB weld?? I used Liquid steel to fix the aluminum oil pan on my wifes old Mercury tracer....it took 2 or 3 separate attempts with it but it doesn't leak now...instead I broke a bolt off in the valve cover/head and now it leaks from the valve cover.....go figure....

 

I use very little sealant on my motor bc the gaskets are designed to be used and reused DRY. The proper way to fix your issue is a new oil pan gasket and new front cover gasket and just a touch of Ultra Black where the cover and block meet. Dont overtighten the gaskets either. Follow the torque sequence and tighten to spec and it wont leak again for a LONG time.
