Hey all, I decided to finally tackle my oil leak. Took off the oil pan, and discovered a hole right beside one of the bolts that someone had smeared some rtv over and called it good. does anyone have an oil pan they could spare? many thanks, -Ryan
Ryan , I have one in the garage , could you post a picture of yours . Not sure of the year for mine. I am in Maryland . Thanks Bill
Hey Bill, thanks for the note. I will try to get a pic today. The pan is back in the car. Also noticed that there was no windage tray. Did Buick use them in ‘72?
Hard to get a good photo with on the engine and in the car. I’d take it back down, but can’t till this evening. But found a photo on this site of the same pan.
a member named Cole has the whole package in the parts for sale section posted this past Sunday for $85
It probably could. I’ll post it in the pay it forward parts when this is done, in case anyone wants to try. The problem I see is the location. It’s right next to a bolt hole where the right angle forms between the mating surface and the pan. The pan is also dented up quite a bit, so Happy to replace it. Luckily Bill came to the rescue with a pan.
I peaked under the pan the other day, and briefly looked to see if there were provisions for a windage tray, and didn’t see any. I feel like I read buick did away with the windage tray in 73 for a few years - is this accurate? I’ll have a look tomorrow and make sure, that my eyes weren’t deceiving me - but when I glanced, I didn’t see anywhere to put the tray. If I’m wrong, I’ll take you up on your offer. Thanks Bruno
You're right but I'm unsure of the years. Mine doesn't have a place for the tray bolts. I was told that my engine was a '76.
