Hey guys shocker here
I have run into some probs now i find i'm going through like a litre of oil a day and it looks like the idiot who did my oil Pan buckled it so it leaks wonder if anyone has any suggestions, also i was told my gasket i might need a new one.... are the fairly expensive or what? what do i do? cause in 5 months i wanna swap it neways....

 

how are you doing shocker?

first, you have to make sure it is leaking from the oil pan

you will need a new oil pan and a new gasket - cost around 150 for oil pan and 25 for gasket - prices may vary

heres a link from honda dealer with prices - I didn't know your model so you can play with the search and get the prices for your car --- those are dealer items.

the replacement is easy but must be careful, if you need advice i'll help you out.



it's recommended that when you replace and oil pan you put the bolts in exactly the same location where they previously were.

 

See i havent found any leaks or holes in the oilpan itself like i'm not dropping oil.... but i did notice the idiot who put it on buckeled the oil pan..... and i think the seal is *$%@ed so is there something i can do about that?

 

by buckled, do you mean that they over tightened the pan bolts so the points between the pans bolts flarred up and are allowing oil to leak out?

 

yes you can replace the gasket

now I dont understand - does it leaking or does it not. what is it exactly what you want to do?

 

Went and had it checked out tonight by a mechanic at a truck stop he says the problem is my gasket is showing from my oil pan? so all i need to do is change my gasket appearntly? so i'm gonna do an oil change at same time.... its just te gasket showing out i guess

 

I see no problem wtih gasket sticking out a bit - if it's a liquid gasket that you apply when you take off the oil pan it's fine.

If there's no leak don't touch nothing - do an oil change if you're due.

If' you're still unhappy with that - and want to waste some of your time and money - I can give you some tips what to do
