Is there a oil pan gasket DIY?

**kevinye77137** · 09-09-2016 05:31 PM

Found out my oil pan is leaking pretty bad... Probably my oil cooler o rings too since I see a lot of people having troubles with them. Is there a DIY for the oil pan gasket? Is there even a gasket for the oil pan or just use RTV?

It's just RTV. Basically pull the pan, clean it up really well, and put it back together.

Is there anything I have to remove to get the oil pan out? like sway bar or coolant lines?

Drain the coolant, put the front end in service position, remove that front coolant pipe, remove the sway bar brackets so you can swing it downward and out of the way, remove the AC line brackets, pull the oil level sensor wiring, then remove the pan. Then:
