So i was replacing my leaking lower pan gasket today...

...and when i dropped the pan and drained the remaining oil, there were two bolts inside looking at me :eek: Turns out they were upper pan bolts that somehow backed out and were rattling around the screen for the oil pickup. I locktite'd them back on there and snugged up the rest in the pan. Bonus result: it fixed the upper pan gasket leak i thought i was going to have to repair!:D

None had backed out yet, but a lot of mine were loose as well.
