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.

Accidental L8 apex

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.
