Hi Guys,

I spotted a small oil leak around the oil pan of my 120 v6 petrol and set about checking for loose bolts. Then S%#t I broke one of the 10mm bolt heads. Now I'm thinking of getting the oil pan out get the broken bolt out and reseal the pan with new bolts.

Do any of you have some experiences or tips to share please????
Specially Do I have to remove any more to make room to get the pan out? and what is the best goo for the job?
Thanks !!!

How did you go with this?
Where any of them loose?
If tensioning stopped the leak I'd put the job on the fix it later list :-)
I'd say the stud could be sitting loose in there, (not bottomed out?)
Keen to hear how u went.

Hey mate,
The leak stopped for a week also and started pissing again!!
Ended up taking the pan out, Then using a Ezyout extractors to get the broken bolt out...
Luckily didn't need to remove anything else to make room.
The oil strainer was pretty clogged and I'm glad I took the time to do it.
Bought whole set of bolts off Toyota and replaced them all.
