I thought I had a leaky gasket last fall but while under the car yesterday, it looks more like the drain pan bolt. I'm careful when I tighten the bolt after oil changes to not tighten too much. Guess I'm not tightening enough or the o-ring is old. Bless our servicemen & women overseas. L.Cpl Ian Malone, 1st Battalion Irish Guards, R.I.P.
