Mines been on since my second oil change and have had zero issues. Never a drop of oil after I drain. I really like it.

I can't remember if it's o-ringed or a sealing washer but clearly it had an issue. Either improper install or maybe pan is damaged enough so it couldn't seal. I don't know but they are nice. Tell him I'll give him 5 bucks for it.

his wasnt leaking through the top.. it was actually leaking through the valve.. when hed park it after a drive you could literally watch it drip from the hole..

He should have them replace it. Mine actually has the flat fiber like washer seal instead of an original where it mounts.

I thought about getting one but then I do go through thick brushwood sometimes and reckoned it was too much of a risk. Unscrewing one plug is not exactly a major problem and when you get the knack of taking it off with a deep socket you don't get much oil on you anyway

or if your quick enough removing it by hand you can get out of the way before the flow starts..

Congrats on the payoff!

I though the pedal problem was fixed?

Check the Vref and look at the EBP sensor connecting wires.

First step is to verify that you have not has a drop in the
Vref voltage at the connector.

Have you has water in the cab?

At my age a deep socket is sometimes the edge I need
