IF I REPLACED THE OIL PAN GASKET DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD SOLVE MY PROB...


THKS YOU .TYLER
 
Clean all of the oil off from the bottom of the pan, the oil return line and the oil filter housing., then check to see where the oil is coming from. Once you know where the oil is coming from then you can proceed form there. Dont' spend any money you dont hav eto
 
change your oil and use some thin based oil, then look for the leak bet u, u will find it. Dont do it on the driveway, I learned from my mistakes
