Your oil pan is upside down!!!

Some salt (back in the day) might have gotten between your oil pan and skid plate - causing rust and a small hole. If you hit that area with a good shot from a power washer the leak would probably get worse.

Is a 3FE oil pan the same as a 2F? If so I have one for you cheap.

agreed. you rear main might be leaking a little based on the last couple pics, but I looks like the big part of the leak is coming from behind the skid plate.

Certainly looks like a lot of crud under the skid plate. It can hold a lot of oil. What I would do is buy a couple cans of brake cleaner and clean it up real well. Then see if it leaks. If you had a leaking oil plug or oil from the rear main leaked down inbetween the skid plate and there is dirt packed in there it can hold quite a bit of oil and weep it out over time. If so you have 3 options.

Take it off and bring it to me and I can fix the leak. Find a used pan. Or buy a new one.


I can brase the spot welds so they won't leak.

Rear main looks to be leaking but without taking that little cover off and looking up there you will never know. There are other places oil can be leaking out of besides the rear main, Cam plug, Oil pan etc....
