2000 ,5.3 oil leak ?
My swap engine had a leak around the bottom (LH side). I believe the leak to be the pan gasket, or the bypass on the pan . The engine is on the stand now, so best time to cover all bases. I can get a Dorman rear cover, complete with seal installed,with bolts & gasket ($56). For a couple questions...does the rear cover gasket normally cause a problem with leaks? Also, would the GM parts be better for service, than any of the aftermarket pcs? 1 last question...do any of the autoparts chains rent the alignment tools for the covers? New to genIII, crazyL
