I replaced my plastic oil pan about 10k miles ago with a steel one with a silicone sealant. First 5k oil change (with steel oil pan), no leaking. Between 5k-10k of having the steel oil pan started to develop a leak, noticed it as I was about to do the oil change. I ordered a Fel-Pro OS 30821 Oil Pan Gasket Set from Amazon as a replacement.
I know some of you all have had the same issue. Did you all replace the bolts with a new set or reuse the same ones after dropping the pan? I was reading a thread about replacing the oil baffle as well. For those who had leaking issues, did you also replace this as well or the sealant/gasket? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
