Is it over before it even started....

Fingers crossed guys. Two of the nuts on the end where the leak is were definitely lose.

I'm with Hemikiller on torque specs. Overtightening and under-tightening nuts and bolts have destroyed a lot of components on cars. If I can't find a torque spec on something I use the generic torque tables for the size and grade of bolt.

The oil pan specs are 11-13 ft.lbs. on 5/16" bolts and 7-9 ft.lbs. on 1/4" bolts. Do not attempt these torque specs with even a 3/8" drive torque wrench, they likely won't be accurate at these low values. Use a 1/4" torque wrench and multiply the foot-pound values by 12 to get inch-pound values.

Dang DON.........you from this world? How you know all this stuff? We are blessed to have your knowledge on here for sure.
