Use silicon to hold the gasket in place. Then place the bolts in the holes of the pan and through the gasket ever so slightly. Lift the pan into place carefully and slowly work the bolts in a little at a time. Tighten slightly with you rachet. These bolts snap easily.
Remove oil from pan or go for an oil change. Too much oil can blow out the gaskets.
No you do not, you would put oil on a oil filter gasket if it is a spin on type, this stops the rubber from binding and helps it seal.

it could be from leaking valve cover gaskets and the oil is running down the side of the engine to the oil pan. make sure it is engine oil and not from the transmission or power steering
Drain the oil. Disconnect the exhaust. Unscrew all the Pan bolts. Carefully pry the pan loose. Clean out the Pan and all the gasket contact areas. Install new gaskets. Use RTV sealer on pan to hold in place press in rubber gaskets on the front and rear. Of the Block. Use a small dab of RTV sealer. Carefully replace oil pan and tighten bolt.
coolant no were near the oil pump/pan. because if mix that it will stuff up your radioator and blow your engine up. radiotors arent CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coolant won't get in oil pan froma water pump but it can from bad intake gaskets, head gaskets or a cracked head.
pan is not made of oil, but people usually put oil on it so cooking wouldn't stick to the pan.
Drain oil, remove oil pan bolts (lots of them), take pan off. When reinstalling, don't use cork gaskets, they tend to degrade much faster and you will be right back under there.
took off all oil pan bolts, ac condenser, starter, serpentine, anchor and still will not budge, any ideas?
Begin by removing the oil from your oil pan. Remove the oil pan retaining bolts. Put a new gasket on your new oil pan and reverse the process.
There is no such thing as a "Valve Pan Gasket"....Maybe you mean "oil pan"...If you want the right answer,you have to give me the right question...*sigh*....
Drain the oil from your 2003 Chevy Malibu oil pan. Remove the oil pan retaining bolts. Remove the oil pan gasket. Put a new gasket on the new oil pan and reverse the process.
