About a year ago, my dads friend replaced my headgasket, valve colver gaskets, intake gaskets, supercharger (I think) gastket, oil pan gasket, supercharger oil, spark plugs and plug wires. Some of these were replaced uselessly but since the engine was partly taken apart they were replaced anyway. He used OEM GM parts for everything.
A few months after the repairs I noticed that a small amount of oil could be seen around the oil pan when I went under there to change oil. I took it back to my dads friend. He checked to make sure the boilts were all tightened (they were) and told me dont worry about it, come back to him when you have to add oil or you see oil spilled on the ground. Since replacing the gasket is kinda a project and will cost alot money, I did what he told me.
I havent driven my car in like 5 days and as I pulled it out of the garage I saw a small amount of oil on the ground probably from the leaky oil pan. I check the oil and the level is still safe but I guess im going to have to get this checked out again and my oil pan gasket will probably have to be replaced for the 2nd time.
What makes the gasket fail so soon? My dad friends said it was because "I beat on my car sometimes". But still it should last over 10K miles. I think im going togo with a aftermarket gasket this time and not a GM one, because oviously the GM on failed.
Any comments on my problem?
