oil pan leaking
ok my oil pan is leaking ion my fd.. i plan on dropping it and fixing it this weekend.. problem is i know this is quite the job but do i need to use a gasket for it or can u just use rtv on it and it will be ok?? im only asking cause everywhere ive called are out of the gaskets.. no joke! and ive seen v8 guys use just rtv to seal up there pans before and didnt know if i can get away with that or not.

I can't count the amount of oil pan gaskets i have replaced, and i have found only a few RTV's that work well. The best of which is made by GM. Part # is 12378521

my pan is leaking too.. I fear it's cuz it's not perfectly straight after removing it for a rebuild...
i'm considering purchasing a banzai oil pan brace...
do I have to pull the motor to install it? or just hoist it up off the mounts?

The engine does not have to be removed for installation.
