FATCAT 09-16-2004, 10:19 PM ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR OIL PAN BOLT LEAKING OIL? (NOT MUCH JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE ME MAD!) I HAD A 01' AND NOW I HAVE A 03' THEY HAVE BOTH DONE IT. I HAVE RAN NOTHING BUT AMS-OIL, ANY THOUGHTS?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif Mackin 09-16-2004, 10:25 PM Change the OilPan bolt gasket . Mac FATCAT 09-16-2004, 10:34 PM I HAVE DONE THAT, IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING. OH AND ANOTHER THING, WHEN I CHANGED OIL ON MY 01' THERE WAS NO MESS THE OIL CAME OUT IN A NORMAL STREAM, BUT ON MY 03' IT COMES OUT LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE OIL PAN,THE STREAM MAKES A FRIGGIN MESS. I PUT A MAGNET IN THE PAN BUT IT WAS PERFECTLY CLEAN. DID GM CHANGE SOMETHING IN THE OIL PAN? problemchild 09-17-2004, 12:13 AM I fold a piece of cardboard in a V shape to drain oil to pan.

Best $25.00 I ever spent on my truck!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif Kennedy 09-17-2004, 08:58 AM The oil pan nut has a slot in it to help drain down lower. It will start to leak as soon as you begin to unscrew it. I have a Fumoto on mine since first oil change. I also drilled a hole that corresponds to the slot to allow lower drainage level... dmaxalliTech 09-17-2004, 09:47 AM fumoto.... CADMAX 09-18-2004, 10:03 PM I had the same problem and found a thread on this forum about not putting enough torque on them. I tried the recommended 62ft. lbs and badda bing. Hasn't been a problem since. It seems like alot of force when you're under there with a torque wrench but it worked. problemchild 09-19-2004, 10:58 AM Napa makes a rubber coated metal washer that stops any leak. geno 09-19-2004, 11:04 AM cheap fix, do it rite and put sealant on threads, and proper torque, this don't work gasket bad.
