That windage tray is the gasket also.

Does the oil pan have any windage tray in it w/o this tray/gasket that's currently on the pickup tube?

I assume you got a gasket that is not a windage tray to replace it correct?

This is what came in the package:

So the question is......why did I get a blue rubber gasket when the 95 SSEi didn't come with one?

I think there's an overlap on when the pan designs were changed. 92-94 has a metal windage tray built in and takes that gasket you have. 96-99 have that plastic windage tray gasket that your car had on it. I think your car may have the newer design of the 96-99.

Well it's all back together with some needed advise from BillBoost. I'm going to keep an eye on it to see if it's leaking. I didn't use the gasket in the pictures above since it wasn't the same as what I had. That was a waste of $27.42 Canadian at my local Auto Parts store. As long as it doesn't leak, I'm good to go......keep an eye on my next post. The problems continue.


Stick with me and life will never be boring.........You can count on it!

We don't NEED you to do that, but you're more than welcome to make copntributions, otherwise we got Morty for that one! :)

I hear ya LakevilleSSEi, as for making contributions.........I don't know it that's what I would call it, but I am mak'in a whole lotta trouble.

Anyways, I never got to my Oil Pan gasket last weekend, but I will get it done this weekend while I'm doing my PEM's at OlBlueEyesBonne's house. (Marty)
