Missing an oil pan screw/bolt

[DonnieBrasco]

I was changing my oil last night and noticed up at the front drivers side area of the oil pan, there is some oil there accumulating. I then noticed that one of the bolts holding the pan on up near that corner is missing. Who knows how long it's been out. Point is I am planning on replacing the oil pan gasket but when I do I want to replace that bolt as well. I am at a loss on figuring out what size I need for it. Any thoughts?

Well, I don't know what size it is off the top of my head but you can remove another one and use it as a reference.

I'd replace the bolt as soon as reasonably possible.

Yeah I was thinking about doing that. Just didn't know if I could find out without having to take one out. Also don't know if they're all the same.

I believe the two front ones are the a different size.

I'd write yourself a diagram indicating exactly which hole is missing it's bolt, then go down to the dealer and get one from them. They might charge you $3, but at least you know you're getting the exact thread pattern and length.
