The "Leak and Squeak Eradication Campaign" continues on my '82 240D 4-speed.

Next on the list is the Oil Pan Gasket, which I have identified as a source of oil leaking after having degreased and power-washed the area.

I crawled under the car several times, in an effort to pinpoint the source of the leak, and tried tightening the 5mm allen bolts (not too hard - I don't want to strip them). It looks like there's a small hole in the gasket that's spurting oil onto the nearby A/C hose, where it drips down and is blown back across the oil pan by the wind as the car goes down the road.

So while I have the Oil Pan off, is there anything else maintenance-wise that I can/should do while I'm in there?

Thanks,

- Patrick
