How do I seal my pan

limited info generic answer -unknown model -engine --well every type of fluid fluid is at the back of engine going with a full size 1 - coolant heater hoses..overflow tank.. 2 oil valve covers..main seal ..dip stick..oil filter--pan ---3 trans trans lines -pan-torque conv-dip stick--4 brakes master cylinder--lines-- determine what color then check around that component

if the pan has never been off then manufacturers use an adhesive sealant to stick the pan on.
Be sure that ever bolt has been removed ( bolts at the main bearing caps at either end)
take a sharp object (old wood chisel) and a hammer and gently break the seal between the pan and the crankcase. work along the edge gently so as not to deform the edge of the pan.

does it have a dip stick ? i had same thing on a chrysler 180 and was the o ring seal for the transmission oil dip stick

Ry ebay or search via google ,

front seal or pan gasket look and see where it come from 9106545823 if you need help

what kind of dip stick??? Transmission. No dip stick as tranny is a sealed system. U cannot add any fluid or check levels. U need a special machine to pump it in. Well....actually I jimmy rigged a hand pump to refill mine after I acidentally drained it thinking I had found the oil pan! Believe it or not I am not the only one who has pulled off that ******** move.

As long as you have all the bolts removed that hold the pan to the bottom of the block. Just make sure you drained all the oil and when you have all the bolts off, lightly tap the oil pan with a rubber mallet to break the seal that makes it stick to the block. If you need to use it, use a puddy knife to break the seal if the mallet isn't working. Just remember to scrap away pieces of the seal that stayed on the block or oil pan before putting the new seal on. It will save you heartache in the long run. Hope this helps.

The front seal,rear seal,pan gasket,transmission cooler lines,the kickdown cable has a seal, speedo sensor has a seal,solienoid pack has a seal,dip stick tube, plus it could be way over filled. the most costly will be the front seal at a shop

The problem isn't the seal, it is the bearing. You need to disassemble it, clean it, and lubricate it. Turn the pan upside down, and there's a C-ring that you need to pry off. Then you can tap the shaft through the bearing, and it will fall out. Clean the shaft and inside of the bearing, lubricate it, and reassemble.

I usually lubricate with vegetable oil, to avoid any chance of noxious contamination getting into the bread, but I've read a recommendation to use liquid graphite lock lubricant, available from NAPA Auto Parts, to prevent the bearing from sticking again as soon:

BTW, be careful of that rubber seal -- they are apparently irreplaceable! (I need one, if you find a source.)

Hi, if there is no dip stick, the transmission may be sealed. in this case, your issue will be a main seal or faulty transmission pane seal(gasket). if possible, raise your vehicle so that you can get a good look at the pan and main seal area..
