    Auto experts: oil seepage

    No worries pan or valve cover gaskets never leak profusely they weep and simple tightening often shuts them down for years. I wouldn’t tighten yours if pan not a big problem and may distort the seal valve cover yes.

    So true regarding healthcare and shopping but automobile sales and service ain’t rocket science and sure didn’t meet my expectations.

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    Yeah I don’t know why specifically sales is joke for the most part in the Northwoods dealers and service is poor just don’t fix what’s broken then won’t stand behind their work. I gave up as your friends did most of my service was done in Wausau or Appleton. There are good private auto service...

    Auto experts: oil seepage

    That’s exactly why you don’t let them mess with it. As said no ROI on that repair when doesn’t drip you don’t add oil and probably still would seep after repair. Move on with your life check your oil once in a while.

    Auto experts: oil seepage

    I have never known an oil pan gasket to blow out you could have it changed and it will still seep. From what you have described I see zero justification to change it.

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    I had a good guy in Eagle River that did most of my work for along time then he had health problems so I started trying other places one in Iron River , MI that was good then he sold. I ended up getting all my work done in Appleton and Wausau at dealers during family visits.

    I wouldn’t change an oil pan gasket that doesn’t drip on the ground no ROI on that. Wait it out see if it gets bad measure how much oil you use between oil changes.

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    Due to population density only 1 in the WI Northwoods I know of that is in Rhinelander and my experience with them looking at new Rav 4 was terrible pretty darn bad right there at the bottom of the barrel with one other dealer that was equally bad news. Hate to say it but the Northwoods is not a...

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    Drive any boulevard in Milwaukee or the burbs in rush hour cars are pushing 70mph in a 45. Either you move with it or they funnel by you. The accidents are complete multi car pile ups. This started during the pandemic and never stopped

    Auto experts: oil seepage

    PCV valves usually cause a bunch of carbon to expel when you punch it when clogged. Cheap fix. I would want a clear definition of where oil is coming from before any repair. You don’t want some moron tearing your engine apart when you just may need a valve cover tightened. Be carful

    Auto experts: oil seepage

    That’s really weird leaking oil but no drops on pavement and don’t add oil. Can you see it on the engine although crooks have been known to squirt oil to mimic a leak.

    Meanwhile, on Lake Superior

    I would think the captain has mandatory alarms set for shallow draft water. Unless he is a complete knucklehead about to lose his license. I run alarms on my boat for shallow water set once and done even remembers when battery is pulled.

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    Paul I don’t know how hurting you are for a truck /car but when it was time for me to buy new in 2015 I checked out every brand from Vilas to Wausau. I had 2 gas guzzlers at the time a Tahoe and an Avalanche and time for the Tahoe to go for something more economical and it needed to be good off...

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    Good luck Paul car dealers are trying to buy good used cars here the consumer can’t afford the price for new cars and new inventory is building up on car lots. I wonder when dealers will start putting a hold on new car orders? It’s coming not quite there yet.
