Oil Pan gasket Info

[WYomer]

So dumb question but anybody know the part number for the oil pan gasket? I have a leak I think is coming from the pan and there is RTV all over that pan area. Or should I just remove and use the canned gasket maker?

You DO need to lay a thin bead of silicone based adhesive on the pan rail joints where the rear seal carrier and gear housing meet, just on the block side, nowhere else. Don't use rubber based silicone, the acids in the engine oil attack it, turn it to goo and you will have a leak again.

+1 for what he said! Use the grey rtv! It was designed for high torque applications and the only rtv recommended in Ford diesils since 2003.

I use it exclusively, no more repeat repairs for failed rtv seals. Ford actually uses it to glue on trans pan gaskets on certain vehicles, you bend up the pan before it ever comes off

WOW thanks! I had no idea, there is alot of orange hi temp gooped all over it now so I figured that was either the leak area or a good starts to find my seepage level leak. Very redneck level of RTV....always suspect when I see that crap.
