Frank, do exactly what Scott told you. I do have a story though, I was working on my 350 Camero and I had an oil leak around the pan. I removed, cleaned and siliconed the pan, new gasket and same on engine side...a few days later I see the same leak, someone told me it was likely the sending unit, did that too, then someone thought it was from the back of the intake manifold, took it off and resealed with new gaskets..still oil leak ...laying under the car one night in frustration I ran my wrench over the oil pan..suddenly a bead of oil appeared, shoved a little harder with the corner of the wrench and put it through the pan! I couldn't see the pin hole before but that was the source of the leak, I felt stupid about all the work I had done trying to solve the leak and it turned out to be the pan itself....=new pan ... now I told this story for a reason , check the pan very carefully for pinhole leaks around the flange. I didn't think something full of oil would rust through.....Mike in Exeter Ontario
