C55 oilpan reseal
So I have what looks like a pretty decent oil pan leak and its coming from the rear side where the rear drain bolt is.
Is the bottom oil pan a two piece part?
Im due for an oil change but I dont want to do it until I address this.
The screw with a piece of rubber sticking under it is a suspect. I tried it with a socket and it was pretty loose. I didnt want to tighten it too much in case its stripped.
What are the chances of one of those screws becoming loose onits own. I haven't done any work on this pan myself. Owned the car for less than a year.

Hit the entire area with some degreaser and take a short trip. Climb back under and see if that helps pinpoint the leak.
As to the bolt/screw, I wouldn't think it would be loose or back itself out.
