Ok I dropped the pan on my 2000 SS just to clear up that it's an ls1, I have the oil pan out and there is something I'm wondering and hope that someone can tell me what that extra piece is for that comes out from above the filter. It looks like it may lead somewhere but it's blocked off, it has two bolts, and I need to know if there's a seal or gasket in there, I want to make sure I dont have any leaks and I want to cover all my bases

I just took mine off when i replaced the pan gasket, cleaned the pan up, bolted it back on and havent had any leakage from it. I think youll be fine if you remove it before you hot tank it

the seal has been supercided a time or two, yes you need it. it is available at dealer cheap and is made of thin metal. i know i replaced mine in my ls6 swap.opinion only: don't reuse a 50 cent piece to protect a 5000 dollar part ( engine)
