Testing Oil Pan for leaks while on engine stand?
Hey everyone. I currently have my engine on a stand and resealed the oil pan after installing new front and rear seals along with a turbo drain fitting. I used a thick bead of RTV, but had to reposition the oil pan a few times before I got the position right. I’m just worried I may have caused a leak point due to that even though the RTV was still wet. Is there a good way to test the pan for leaks on the stand, or do I just have to put the engine in the car and hope for the best?
