Leaking Canton oil pan
Leaking Canton oil pan I've heard of people having problems with them. I have one that is leaking pretty bad (ever since I purchased it new from summit)
I just keep wiping down everything But its getting really old. Im usuaing a stock felpro replacement oil pan gasket. Everythings snuged up decent but not to tight.
What have people done to remedy this? Do I just need to sell this and get a different pan? Im getting so upset with the leak, and a minor timing cover leak that I think Im going to pull the motor and just reseal it again even though there's not even 10k miles on it.

I just installed mine as well and have no issues. Although I have heard of this problem with their pans and valve covers. When I installed mine i just made sure everything was very very clean and just a small coat of silicone, sealed it up and let it dry overnight. Hope this helps out,but you probably did the same!
Use the perma dry gasket. Its rubber coated metal and has bushings to prevent over tightening from pushing the gasket out.
You could also coat it in hylomar. That's what im gonna do

its leaking around the time cover, and rear main humps.
Gregbob I did use the permadry, and just the permadry gasket, only spots with rtv is the cracks between the timing cover and block and rear main housing and block.
Although I did not crank down on them fearing I would push the gasket out.
