I have seen a pan or two where the bolts used were too long and it broke the casting into the inside, causing a small but noticeable leak.  |
I was wondering about that also. When I got this tractor several years ago the mount bolts were gone and the engine was gust bouncing around. I had helicoils installed and now the bolts are short but I now wonder what had happened in the past. Did someone put longer ones in or who knows?
I'm going to pull the pan and inspect all of the bolt holes etc. Also I'm wondering if the pan gasket surface could be warped? Wondering if maybe I should be looking for a new or good used oil pan.
