Rear oil pan bolt snapped Was going through and snugging up my oil pan bolts and the last one I did snapped. It is one of the two long rear ones (driver side, closest to oil filter). Is it possible to use some easy-out drill bits to get the rest of the bolt out, or since it bolts to the bottom of the rear main seal, will I be needing to drop the transmission in order to get it out? Also, I drove it around the block and parked it. It doesn't seem to be leaking. Am I fine still using it as my daily driver, so long as there is no leaking? |
If it ain't leaking just leave it be. One of my long ones is stripped out and the back corner edge, on the same side, is broken on the oil pan from a speed bump(after i had just replaced the other one I did the same thing too). It don't leak I'm not fixing it, to big of a PITA. 1 year and I'm still doing fine. :D |
If it is not leaking and no "oily moisture" then your fine. When it comes out for a rebuild, that is one of the things that will need to be addressed. |
Same happened here. Except mines leaking a quart a month. So if anyone has the size and thread of the bolt so I can go get a new one it'd be great. I already got the old stripped one out. |
