oil pan drip
Does anybody know a good trick or type of gasket to get your oil pan bolt to stop dripping. I have used every different type of gasket, plastic, copper, copper with a rubber inside, everything and I cannot get it to stop dripping. Do I just need to re-tap and get a bigger bolt? Thanks

If the gaskets are not working there must be some damage to a sealing surface. Inspect the bolt head and the pan. The metal and rubber gaskets have worked great for me. The plastic ones fracture. Copper has worked on some engines.
