cobo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I replaced the oil pan gasket on the MP8 engine and it still leaks.I was wondering if i should have replaced the springs on the bolts at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselwrenches Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Where about is it leaking from on pan? If it's close to back it may be from not sealing seam between block and flywheel housing with rtv before installing pan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I wouldnt think the springs are the problem. Im thinking the same thing as Dieselwrenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 We have lots of "rust throught" issues with oil pans here. Also the oil level/temp sensors seem to leak alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbigrig Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 That level sensor in the pan is the biggest pain in the ass. Caused so many shutdowns from either sensor failure or sensor wiring wicking. To top it off you have to drop the pan just to replace it.

bbigrig Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Does your pan seems like it's leaking on the passenger side near the oil filter housing? We had a couple that looked like a pan leak but turned out to be a pressed in plug on the oil filter housing. I hope it's pan related.
