does your oil pan drain nut have a nylon washer on it?
does your oil pan drain nut have a nylon washer on it?
I've noticed for a while not that every now and then it looks like my car is leaking oil from the drain plug. Now we're talking a drip every now and then, but I have noticed ever since I have haad the car, the drain plug has a nylon/plastic looking washer around it. I am wondering if your guy's camaros are the same way? Can this be my problem with it leaking oil? If so easy fix, just next time I remove the plug to take it off. It is just a curious question. Please let me know.
Go to the dealership and buy a new plug. You should replace it every few oil changes. It's only like five bucks, good habit to get into. And it's not a washer so don't try to pull it off. There's a rubber seal built into the plug.
At least on my '98, that's how it is.

I just have a bolt, no washer or anything. I wonder how much it is for a new pan? I thought my drain was leaking oil too but it actually was the top of the oil pan not being tightened down enough so I retorqued it and nothing. I will try changing the seal on it and retorquing it but the pan still looks pretty awful.

Ted<hr></blockquote>Huh. Don't make the mistake that EVERYONE has made in the past. 16-20lbs MAX on those oil pan bolts! Go much over that and you'll need a new pan.

Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...

Nothing on mine, and why would you need to replace the nut?
