An FYI to all that have their oil pans leaking. Mine got worse over the span of a year. The Ford guy I know looked at it, He
drained the pan
cleaned the surface around the bolts
loosened as many bolts as he could get too
Ran red rtv around the exposed bolt threads & around the pan sealing surface as he could get too
tightened the bolts back up snug
Let dry 48 hours
Filled with 10W50 & a oil sealer from STP
Bone dry for 2 weeks now
It's something relatively easy to try.
Long term? IDK...
My rear main is still seeping but that's another issue
