Just tighten the bolts up one is just a sensor for your oil pressure gauge and the other is a oil drain tube from your turbo...no need to replace them!

Maybe replace a gasket at worst.

thank you yet my oil drain tube look like missed the gasket
 
I would say replace your gasket that goes between the block and the oil filter assembly and get a new oil return line gasket. If it keeps leaking around the oil pan area, i would replace the oil pan gasket too, but while you're at it, now that you will be spending some $, why not just get a complete engine gasket kit ? Or even a partial gasket kit ?
 
Yeah it does look like your oil drain tube missed the gasket but they are actually made like that. I think its just so they are easier too peal off.

hello i got one more question coz today i want to change my oil pan gasket but i can't take it out, it looks many things block oil pan and the transfer case block it too. so do i need to replace the transfer case? can you tell me which parts should i replace it first and then i can take out the oil pan thank you
 
you have to drop the transfer case in order to get to a bolt holding the oil pan on. i dont know why you would think of replacing a transfer case to install a gasket... :hmm:
i would just replace the oil return line gasket and the oil filter bracket gasket for the time being. if it still leaks afterward then try the pan gasket.

thank you but oil pan gasket look very bad and one bolt had broken so it leaking many oil i must need to change my oil pan gasket
 
sounds like your gasket 1 bolt is hidden under t-case its tricky you have to pull t-case off which isnt to bad to do. Replace the gasket and see if it still leaks. And you said there was a broken bolt for the oil pan?

one more question when i pull t-case off , will it leak any fluid or when i put the t-case back do i need to put a new gasket on it?
 
No, the transfer case does not need a gasket nor should it leak but that is a heavy mother so be ready when it comes loose! If you do all of the above things and it is still leaking than you should also look into a front case and or cam seals. Any leak in that area is hard to track but I have to say A complete gasket kit does sounds like a great idea. If one thing is leaking chances are the others are just waiting to leak after you fix it. Been there done that:banghead:
