Hey guys, So i've been slowly replacing all the leaking seals on my old tired Subaru. Recently did all the cam seals/crank seal, and the valve cover gaskets. Now I am looking at replacing my oil pan gasket (it's leaking quite a bit) and also wanted to clean or replace the pickup tube. Then all I will have left is the oil separator plate (which I will do with my clutch) and I will be leak free! Woot! Anyways, I am looking for a little guidance on this particular procedure, and I haven't been able to find a good write up for this particular engine. Mine is the 95 2.2 SOHC. Anyways, I have heard quite a few times now that the pick up tube in the pan can get clogged up and cause oil starvation in the engine, and that scares me, especially considering it's unlikely the pan gasket has been done, much less the pickup tube judging by the way it's leaking. So I figured since the pan gasket needs to be changed I could clean the pickup or replace it while I'm in there. Have any of you guys done this? And does it sound like a good idea? This car has 270,000 miles almost and I want to do every possible thing I can to make it last. I've seen on other write ups that the bottom engine mounts have to be loosened and the engine jacked up to get the pan off. Is this true on this particular engine? Cause it looks to me like I could get all the bolts out and the pan off without doing it. Also, what do you guys recommend for the gasket? A pre-fabricated gasket or just some good ole RTV? Thanks in advance for all your help. As always, much appreciated.
