Wetness around a bolt....

[roperteacher]

Hey guys, as I was looking over my 07 5. 9 I noticed I had a little bit of "Wetness" around the center most bolt between the Manual trans and the Back of the oil pan. Tucked up there about 6". Not even close to forming a drip. A little bit I can see blew back in the area, but is there an extension I can get to snug it down? Thanks!

You talking about an oil pan bolt? My truck had seep coming from one of the pan bolts in the back. I removed the bolt, cleaned the area the bolt with some brake cleaner, and put a little permatex on the bolt. It's clean now.

Thanks, I think I will just torq it down a hair more and see if that helps. . I have been doing lots of reading on this on DTR and appears this is pretty common! MOst said it was from the breather tube but I can't see it going over that far. Not a problem so I will monitor it. . Thanks!
