Do you think this mechanic is right that it would leak again really quick due to engine movement?ĥ. Do you think I should replace that device?Ĥ. What is that device in the picture that is towards the passenger side of the oil filter?ģ. Do you think the upper oil pan gasket and rear main seal are the likely causes of the leaks?Ģ. He said that the crankshaft moves whenever I push and release the throttle and within a few months, the leak would come back.ġ. He told me that a car with this age and mileage, I shouldn't fix it. I was curious to get a quote and went to a mechanic that I was told was very honest and good. My thought was to change the upper oil pan gasket and the rear main seal while in there. I think this device itself might need to be replaced. The area where this component connects to the oil pan seems clean as well. This picture is looking up from the front. Whatever that component is, it's connected to the aluminum oil pan right next to the oil filter. The other leak in the front, seems to be forming in what I think is the oil cooler. If you look closely (on the right, next to the bolt) you can see a second bead. I've attached a picture where you can see the bead of oil. This makes me think the leak is coming from the rear main seal or the upper oil pan gasket. The one in the rear seems to be forming between the transmission (automatic) and the engine or the aluminum oil pan. Just sitting cold, the engine leaked about 60ml overnight in 2 spots. I just bought a 2002 Pathfinder 185,000 miles and it has 2 bad oil leaks. First of all, I couldn't find a pathfinder forum, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
