Actually it is probably best to not resort to RTV. The main reason for leaks on the lower oil pan is most likely due to dents and thus warped pans. ust replace with a new gasket and a new lower oil pan and the planets should align and all will be good in the world.

As for Haynes - I've been very rude about Haynes in the past - please use the FSM on startek to stop my emergency toilet paper jokes!
