Oil leak after drive
#12
You have a leak cause by a mechanical issue (ie all the oil pan bolts are supposed to be Torqued: 18 lb ft sides, 89 lb in) stop leak is no going to fix that. I see replacement bolts meaning an incompetent idiot stripped out OEM fasteners and tried to use larger replacement bolts.

It's been 3 days, no leak, I'm just going to run it at this point. If I see that it starts excessively leaking again, then I will just have the whole job done. Today's project is terminals after having to order a Neg because I accidentally bought two positives.

Alright, so something interesting. I put the skids back on last night, drove it around today, and now oil everywhere. Is it possible the skid plates are causing this? Maybe applying pressure somewhere on the oil pan? I guess I'll pull them again tomorrow and see if that screw backed out again.

It should be OBVIOUS what the cause of your leak is........... and it has absolutely zero to do with skid plates. C'mon, stripped out bolts are not going to keep the pan up tight to make a permanent seal.

Yeah you're right Doc, taking it into the shop now. I've been on a little witch hunt with it because I am seeing oil up higher than the pan, but I think what's happening is the oil is dripping on the pulley and getting thrown up higher.
