Re: [Chevelle-list] Oil Pan Leak
Are you sure that its not coming from a leak at the junction of the dipstick tube tranny case? There is an o-ring on the tube that is suppose to seal it.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Oil Pan Leak
The triangular pad is brazed on by the manufacturer. If it is actually leaking between the pad and the pan then you are going to need to pull and replace. Sometimes the dipstick can leak if improperly installed or if it has a bad o-ring. Make sure that isn't your problem first.Godspeed, Dan SolomonIt is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a hurry.http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sat, 9 Aug 2008 21:23:45 -0400From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [Chevelle-list] Oil Pan LeakNeed some helpI have an oil leak from the oil pan on my 454 '70SS.
