Leaking oil pan

[timsims]

Does anyone make a repair kit for a 70 bronco 302 with a leaking dip stick. Oil is seeping where the slip in tube goes into the pan

unfortunately no...most guys will drill out the rivets and make a new gasket then use small bolts to seal it back up....some one will chime in hopefully with pics...if not do a search you'll find this is a really common problem

exactly as rydog said... its easy to do; With the exception that you have to drop the oil pan... I use 3/16SS button heads fasteners. So, is it bad enough to drop oil pan OR do you just deal with it until you have engine out? Of course there's always the option of buying a new aftermarket pan. But then you still have to drop the oil pan....

Had to fix mine exactly this way. Its been a while but I think I used nylock nuts and red locktite.
