Hey guys so I posted this on Facebook tahoe group and got very few responses so I take that to mean no one knows what I'm talking about mayne you guys are smarter. I had an oil pan leak that got so bad I was losing 2 quarts a week. Do i gave in and decided to change the oil pan gasket and also the pick up tube o ring. I took it all apart cleaned everything examined everything I looked at the rear main seal it was all dry front of transmission was dry cleaned it all and put it back together. The videos I watched said when I put the gasket on it only need a little bit 9f the right stuff permatex in the 4 corners of the gasket where the hash marks are so thats all I did and i put it back together. I ran the car the next day and it was smoking out the exhaust a white smoke so bad I thought something was on fire. It went away and I saw no oil dripping either. But somehow I lost 2 quarts of oil again a week later. Where the hell is it going? My valve cover is weeping but not that bad. I had someone say I was supposed to put the permatex across the whole end of the gasket that went under the oil pump. Is that true? When I took the old one off it was so caked in permatex on the end I practically had to cut it out. I thought that was contri using to the original leak. What did I do wrong? I'm so scared of blowing up my motor I went a got a 2000 denali winter beater until I can rebuild my motor with new gaskets. Please someone help!!!!!
