Oil pan bolts
I know this has been discussed numerous times in the past. My question is to tighten all the oil pan bolts what has to be removed?

Re: Oil pan bolts
You should be able to remove the two beams that attach to the rails and from cross member. The engine and mounts are actually sitting on a thick plate(cradle)....so the beam are not supporting the engine; the plate along with the transmisson beams will support the motor w/o the beams....

Re: Oil pan bolts
My second question is concerning the two inch diameter oil spot that appears under the front of the engine, passenger side, every time I park the car. Could this oil be from the cooler lines? Car is stock 67,000 mi. Not driven hard.

Re: Oil pan bolts

Re: Oil pan bolts
Since I have you on line. If the cooler lines are the culprit are they available locally like a dealer? If the oil sensors are bad, where I get them?

Re: Oil pan bolts
To help you find the items Lee defined as possible oil leak source.
You have 2 styles of hoses to choose from, black-braided and SS braided BLACK http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=888 Stainless http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=887 The two oil pressure units (1 is a switch, the other is a sender) Lee referred to Switch http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=346 Sender (Big one on top) http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=106
