A shop had replaced the filter and seal about 500 miles ago and the rear two bolts are leaking.
The bolts were torqued way over 8 ft Lbs the I lower portion is not warped but noticed on side leaking the most that the bolt hole is not completely flat. It didn’t seem they completely cleaned the pan and may have added to this issue.
Will this reseal or do I need to address the rear corner bolt hole or maybe just add a little Rtv in the corners?
Thanks in advance!
pan off,
flatten all side ribs so they are flush.
Bend the ears down away from the seal just a touch,
and make sure the holes are clear and flat. use a rat tail file.
Use a new pan gasket ,
put it together dry and dont over torque.
