  • Oil Leak

    my oil pan gasket is leaking onto my ypipe. do you really have to lift the engine to change it. is this a common problem with these cars and how soon should it be fixed. it will leave a drip on the garage floor overnite.

    Is it a pan gasket or rear main seal. My car's rear main is due for a fixing, again. The 3.8 doesn't like its rear seals. I have no idea what it costs, but oil is cheap yet.

      Wow! I had the same thing in 2000.

      The dealer tightened them without lifting the motor. Some bolt heads looked like very tight access though. I can not say for sure whether or not they got them all, but the leak stopped.
