dropping the oil pan on a colorado...

[supersize75k5]

I seem to have a slight leak on my oil pan, actually a baseball sized hole in it

It looks to be bolted to the tranny with 4 bolts, am I looking at some fancy method of removing this thing or what??


any insight or input would help, its on my 08 colorado

How did you get a basebal sized leak?

 

[Jason4x4]

Because he's shawn.

I could ask a tech tomorrow for you, but between you and Jason I'm positive you can figure it out.

looks like I take down or move the rack and pinion and then it will come down


jason ill call you tomorrow,

as for the baseball sized hole.... whoops are exciting, it gets beter with more speed and bigger whoops that are close together managed to even nail the oil filter too

got her all patched up, just took about 2 hours maybe three, hardest part was getting the steering shaft back on the rack and pinion when i was done.

sealed her up with the right stuff no leaks woo whooo


as for buying something i have owned.. maybe the frequent flyer miles transfer lol

Do you have any pictures of the aftermath of airing out your old suburban?

im quite the fan of hard landing sometimes
