I checked all of the bolts on the oil pan. They were fine.


I don't know if you know it, but many times, oil pan leaks are from bolts
being too tight. The likely solution to that, is to remove the pan to make
sure the pan flange is still flat (undistorted) and replace the pan gasket,
and this time, not over tightening. The torque values for these bolts are
really low.

Good luck.

By the way, when you said "fat albert" at first, I thought you were talking
"Blue Angel's Fat Albert." g
