I have a 2000 Town and Country with a 3.8L engine. I have changed that oil pan gadget twice and it still leaks. I used a fel pro gasket and followed the direction to the T! I even called Fel Pro before installing the second gasket and they suggested using a small amount of RTV black at the casting seems. All torqued to specs! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this thing in right. I am considering using RTV or Right Stuff on the Fel Pro gasket. It's not like I haven't done this before as I put in a new gasket in my 2000 Dodge Caravan. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Where it is leaking at what part?

 

Hi KKeller, Thank you for your reply. The oil pan is leaking where the gasket meets the block at various locations. I used the fel pro gasket and followed the directions and as I mentioned I even called the company after the first gasket failed. They mentioned using a small amount of RTV in the area where the block casting (where parts of the block are mated) which I did use. The pan is not warped or dented. Not sure what to do next. I changed my gasket on my Dodge Caravan (same year) with no problem. I thought about using Right Stuff ??? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Get this and use around the gasket both sides

 

Thanks! I will not be able to do the job for a few weeks but I will keep you posted. Thanks for the advice.
