My oil pan was stripped and a repair was attempted. But a slow leak continues.
I drained the oil and ensure that the shop did do a sert repair, I refilled it and torqued it to spec. The leak was slower but still leaking.
Thinking that the leak was the drain was caused by the reuse of the crush washer, so I drained it and torqued it to spec i.e. 18 ft-lbs.
Am I out of options other than an oil pan swap? or can I get the time sert removed and re-installed. I don't know if the mechanic used any thread sealant / adhesive when they fastened the sert.
