Oilpan replacement oilpan is leaking, needs to replace

1 drain oil
2 remove bolts retaining oilpan
3 clean mating surfaces on oilpan and engine block
4 check fit gasket to see if holes line up
5 reattach oilpan to engine block and tighten to specified torque
6 put required lube oil in motor to level and start to check for leaks

If all else fails, pull another bolt to find the proper replacement.

new late model vehicles use an adhesive sealant when they fit the pan to the block. Over time this adhesive can break down and leak but this takes years on over 100.000 miles and the replacement is a gasket that you use good quality sealant with..

hi yes it is gotta drop the oilpan take eyerything off on front of motor thats in the way of removeing the seal fanbelt pullys cover timmingbelt turn back the bolts holding the crankshaft a little 3 or 4 turns replace the seal reasemble the parts and dont foget the timming marks for the timmingbelt

When it is this bad you have to park it and look underneath the motor. It should show where it is leaking from all of the oil trail. A part called an oil pressure sender may be leaking. It is very simple to replace and inexpensive. It also will not hurt to replace your oil filter and hand tighten it. Make sure you have a clean surface when the old filter is removed.

By the time you remove your oil filter, you should have a good visual check of the oilpan and oilplug. The oilplug can be stripped if someone crossthreaded or overtightened the nut. There are oversized oilplugs and repair adapters available to work around the problem.

In the event you have a hole in the oilpan, with a good cleaning, a product called JB weld can permanently patch a hole. Your motor has 2 main openings where the crankshaft is attached. Each end has a seal and you have major disassembly to replace inexpensive seals. The upper portion of the engine has valve covers and they are easily replaced.

Do 1 thing at a time and go by the evidence. With luck this may be a simple thing to fix. I hope my solution has been helpful to you.

It may be the rear engine seal where the tranny shaft sticks into the engine. I am assuming it is a standard shift of course. Please be kind with the thumbs up rating. I am only guessing and can't see the leak area. Thanks, Raz

Your timing cover is worn through. Your timing chain has worn down the guides and is now eating a hole in the timing cover. You will need to replace the timing set. If you are doing your own work, you will NOT have to remove or loosen the head. You will need to remove the oilpan. It's not so much for the clearance as it is cleaning out the trash in your pan. The guides are now in your oilpan, and if you don't take it off now, you will shortly after the oil pick-up screen is blocked with junk. I'm not sure about the 2 wheel drives, but on the 4's you can take the motor mounts loose and jack the engine up enough to get a piece of 2X4 between the mount faces. You can then wiggle the pan out. Since you are replacing the timing chain and have to remove the radiator, do it first. Otherwise you will jack the fan through the fan shroud. Have fun.

Before you remove the transmission and not knowing the condition of your oilpan, I might be able to save you some trouble.
If you have a few leaks in the metal of the oilpan, JB Weld can be used without replacing a pan. If you have a stripped drain hole, there are oversized plugs and rubber expansion plugs for that problem.

Sometimes you need to turn the crankshaft to clear the rods. And you can clear the frame and the oilpump with the oilpan by loosening the motor mounts and trans mounts and lifting the motor and reblocking the motor mounts.

But if you want to still pull the trans out, you will pull the driveshaft, the trans linkage and dipstick pipe. Then unbolt the starter, torque converter, and finally every bolt on the trans case to motor block. Earlier you loosened the trans mount bolts, now the frame crossbar should be unbolted and everything should drop.

Is it 4WD? if so, I believe your truck may unfortunately be of the vintage where in order to replace the oil pan you need to either remove the engine or front end. If the oil leak in the pan isn't horrible, you may be better off to invest in a quality steel epoxy. Drain the oil, dry it with brakleen real well and goop it up with epoxy.

Check for leaks on the manifold gaskets. Replace with good 'metal gaskets'.
