I changed my one piece oil pan gasket and it still weeps in the rear. They claim the new ones are fool proof but I guess they didn't count on someone like me actually working on a car. I put small dabs of silicone in the corners but that didn't seem to make a difference. Any suggestions from a GM tech would be appreciated. How do you ensure that new gasket you put on a paying customers car doesn't leak?

They say the third time is the charm.

 

I work for a GM dealer, just make sure the pan and block are really clean and I usually run a bead of *** 'y adhesive on top and bottom of the gasket. The *** 'y adhesive is great, the pn is 12346141, get it from a dealer, it's about $9.00 a tube. Good LUck.

 

Thank you Kyle, I was trying to avoid using the "goop" route but that sounds like the most dependable way to go.

 

Hey Kyle don't forget to use that *** 'y sealer when you're installing a pet**** in your radiator!

This program censors the oddest things. I tried to talk once about getting a bearing race ****ed in its bore, and it washed my mouth out with soap on that one too.
