Some background, 04 auto car, was in last year for a pan gasket replacement. Dealer had given him a crazy quote and after I cleaned & checked, retorqued the pan bolts & still weeping in various spots around upper pan... R&R with a felpro gasket kit both upper & lower.
Back in with more leaking, initially thought front seal, but it's dry, pulled the belts, AC tension assembly & cleaned things up. A little greasy around left side of front cover but not bad like a wet leak.
However, when I pulled the bolt for the trans cooler line retainer we found a winner... anyone ever see this? Thoughts on how to seal it?
I've drained the oil & shot the hole with brake cleaner several times over the last few hours & it continues to weep.
This hole is "supposed to be blind into the gasket/pan area only from what I remember, it is NOT a pan bolt per say.
Oil pan leak
Might get a neoprene washer that fits the bolt also so it seals it off...
