Upper Oil Pan leak - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I recently found an oil leak. I originally thought the leak was coming from my Greddy oil pan. So I re-RTV'd the oil pan clean up everything. Hours later, the leak was back. I determined the leak was coming from the Upper oil pan. So my question is, do I need to take off the Greddy Oil pan in order to remove the upper oil pan? I don't wanna go through that mess again since I found one of the bolt holes stripped and I had to insert a Helicoil to rethread that mess. Please let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thank you guys.

Sr20? Yes. There are no dumb questions, but do you use the fsm for torque values?

I did this a looong time ago and I am pretty sure I had to do a little "extra work" to get it off in the car...

Yea that's a shitty job to do with the motor in.

I am proud of you for diagnosing where the oil was leaking from. most people around here simply aren't capable
