Anonymous-0 · Feb 15, 2009

I have a 6410 i just bought and i am trying to work the bugs out.I have 4 or 5 oil pan bolts on different side of the pan that are leaking.How can i stop them without pulling oil pan?

Are the bolts real tight? Chances are they have been overtightened and it has cracked the gasket around the bolt holes. You could try to loosen 3-4 bolts each side of the leakers and force in some gasket glue.

I've had trouble withsome bolts where hole goes right up into oil chamber (open on top). On these, I've had some success removing bolt, cleaning threads as well as I could, and reinstalling with Silicone RTV gasket material on threads.

Try teflon tape. I would be loathe to use glue in case some got sucked into the works.
