question. is this common?
my cars moved in like 5 months. and the oil pan is pretty wet with oil. is there a seal down there or just a sealer? cause i realized i was looseing oil wen i was runng the car before the crash i had. cars now getting fixed. and also i ahve a leak on top of the vave covers but i know i can re do them with rtv or w,e. can the oi pan be done the same way. is this common?

I don't know what rtv or w,e is, but I thought there was a gasket for the valve covers.

O great for me lol. Uhh
I can only tell you what I know. The small breather valve covers are indeed sealed with a black RTV. I had mine resealed under warranty (temporary fix) and then I redid it myself. (permanent fix) I don't know about the real valve cover. I imagine it has a gasket. But I like what your thinking. (fix it if it's not perfect)
