Hey All,
I recently purchased a 1994 Cadillac SLS with the 32v Northstar v8. It has 25k miles and I purchased this car for snow bird use for a relative so it will only be driven 6 months out of the year in the summertime (~3-4k annually). I changed the oil and noticed the underside of the car was wet with oil. The engine was also filthy so I assume it had never been cleaned and I gave it a thorough cleaning. The oil level sensor definitely leaked so I replaced it but now I seem to have a bit of weeping around the oil pan gasket. The previous owner also let it sit for 6-8 months at a time. From what I can tell and from some searching, the engine needs to be removed to replace the oil pan gasket. Is there a stop leak or something I can just add to the crank case to stop the leak? It seems the leak leaves about 3 drops when the car is left overnight so it's not a huge deal, but more of an asthetics issue. I assume most oil additves are snake oil but could be wrong and was was curious if anything could help.
TIA,
Derek
