if oil leaks from it! have a look on the floor area if it's leaking there will be a stain.
the only true way repair the leaking oil pan it to remove the pan and change the gasket their is no quick fix for a leaking oil pan if you do it right the first time it wont bie you in the but latter
yes if its leaking or if u replace the oil pan
You never need to replace an oil pan unless it has been damaged and is leaking.
The 2002 maxima has a problem with the oil pan rusting out. Replace the oil pan and gasket and it should be good to go
it could be leaking from some were above and its driping on the pan causing it to look like its leaking from the pan or if you over tourk the bolts it will warp the pan causing it to leak
Yes, but you'll have to refill.
Possible, but more likely a leaking oil filter or valve cover
First try snugging up the oil pan bolts but if that doesn't work you'll have to change the oil pan gasket.
valve cover gasket
Oil filter? Oil pressure sensor?
Look at the oil on the dipstick. If you have antifreeze leaking into the crankcase the oil will be milky.
as long as you cannot hear any internal engines parts hitting bentoil pan, and oil pan is not leaking,there bent oil pan will not cause any problems
