Anyone dealt with this before? I ordered a new gasket, looks like this has been repaired before as they used sealant only and I can pick chunks of rotted oil soaked sealant away from the pan, feels like oily bacon! Can I clean the mating surfaces and torque to spec without a sealant at all? People that have had this problem did you notice a lot of the oil ends up on the swaybar and you get a lot of annoying drips when the car's off?

 

help :/

 

here's a picture after new oil pan gasket, driven 30 miles and sat for few hours (cleaned up area previously)



crank seal huh :/

 

i would deff rock a seal but for the time being idk if i would drive it as is, or you can use the glue on stuff and see for while till u get your seal in.
