I noticed a leak here that drips and makes a small puddle. Do you know this silver looking pan above the oil pan is called and how difficult is it to remove to install a gasket or silicone?

Hi Naser Naser,

This looks like you have a upper oil pan seepage. Check out the diagrams (below). This repair requires to remove engine to repair (good idea would be to reseal at this time) I would approach first to steam clean engine top and bottom to verify seepage. I am glad to help you. If there is anything else we can help you with please contact us again. Thank you for choosing 2CarPros.

Cheers, Nick
