[C320-list] oil pan gasket dripping

[Bruce Heyman]

There are many places that the oil could be coming from, including the oil
pan.  I use Simply Green and paper towels to keep the engine as clean as
possible.  If you wipe all around the oil pan and above it you should be
able to monitor where the leak might be coming from.  

After cleaning and running the engine for a while try wiping above the oil
pan/block and look at the paper towel for any sign of oil.  

Oil pan leak would not have been my first guess unless the engine was brand
new or recently underwent major over haul.

Hi,

We seem to have oil dripping under the engine and we thing it might be a
failing 
in the oil pan gasket.  Have any of you had that problem?  If so, what did
you 
do?

We sure appreciate all the help we have gotten from this group.  Thanks in 
advance.
