Hello guys. I am having an interesting week. Must have gotten the new guy at the inspection station. My SC just failed state inspection for condensation in the headlights, a 4-year-old chip in the windshield, and ... oil leaks. Apparently, I have drips of oil from the valve covers, transmission pan, and possibly the oil pan too. And because the oil might get onto the converters and might then light on fire, it failed. Okay...
I know that removing the oil pan means supporting the engine and dropping the K-member. Now the question is, is it possible to get enough clearance to just re-seal the oil pan without removing it?
I haven't actually gotten under the car to verify that the pan is leaking, but I will do that soon. (I think there's a chance it's just the valve covers.) I don't have to add oil between changes, and I never have to add trans fluid, so this sounds a little out of whack to me.
Thanks for your help. Not looking forward to dropping the K-member!
