Does anyone know what the torque spec is for securing the oil pan to the motor? I'm leaking a few drops of oil every time I shut the engine off. The drip comes from two spots - one on the front and one on the back of the pan. Has anyone had this problem or know if it's leaking from somewhere else?

I'm not sure. Is it something I should worry about as long as I keep an eye on my oil levels? My 22 is on order and was hoping i could just wait it out.

attached. Tech authority- highly recommended, buy a 3 day subscription and copy all you need/ can think of during that time.
