Leaking Oil

The oil pan was stripped and oil was leaking out from under the bolt so i bought and oversized bolt put that in and it still leaks..the only other thing i can think to do is put some rtv on the bolt anybody else know anything...

Re: Leaking Oil

once the gasket goes bad you have to change the gasket. you can't just put another bolt or some rtv.

Re: Leaking Oil

What are we talking about here, the drain bolt or just one of the bolst holding the pan to the block? If it's the drain bolt, then yes you need a new pan...which is not that expensive or difficult (use a new gasket).
