I, @GRAC8FUL , have not been conversation lately. While reading all the post, listening to all the issues going on. I am experiencing an oil leak on my Oil Pan.

I was told that there is no Gasket. I called a Cheverolet dealership to verify if my car has a gasket around the oil pan not to be replaced. I was told that my 2013 Chevy Cruze's LTZ, Turbo, 1.4L, does not have a Gasket.

It shows in the GM system Recommended to use Victor Reinz Silicone to Seal the oil Leak, saying no gasket is around the oil pan & I cannot locate a gasket to go around the oil pan. I have searched all over the internet, dealers, Auto Zone's, O'Reilly, Rock Auto, etc. and yet to find a Oil Pan Gasket.

Has anyone experience this before? Will the Silicone last to seal the oil leak? Do you recommend me Buy a brand new Oil Pan?I OR keep the one I have? I bought the Silcone and in the process of having the oil pan leak sealed next week

Can I have the Oil Pan taken off, cleaned, Sealed(New Silicone) and put back on Without buying a brand new Oil pan?
