pan leaking from dipstick
89 F250, 7.5/460, 4x4, C6 Auto
Just looking for advice here. My oil pan is leaking from the dipstick entry. should I put some teflon tape on the threads, or order a new dipstick? The leak is not from the around the 'flange' for the dipstick, it's leaking around/at the bottom of where the dipstick screws into the pan.
I just bolted the pan back up too, sooooo annoying. It's leaking with just oil sitting in the pan. I hate to look when I finally get to fire this hoss up again.
