Hey folks...
I just dropped the oil pan on my 94 TSi about 2 weeks ago for an oil leak. After 2 weeks it has gotten progressively WORSE than what it was before!
Is there any common issue of the oil pan cracking so small that you can't see it but leaks like a sive?
I have been working on cars since I was 8 years old (now 34) so I know what I am doing...but this thing is PISSING me off.
Another issue I noticed is the oil drain tube for the turbo mounting holes are through to the oil...I used Black RTV on the pan and some on the threads to "seal" the possible leaks. Should I be using something else besides RTV on the threads? The bolts are showing obvious signs of leaking...but the major leak is up along the pan towards the firewall.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
