Thanks Charles, I have dropped the pan and cleaned everything out. I just ordered some Drei Bond to seal it back up and it should be here on Thursday. I like your idea of running a flush oil. I have a case of DT40 that I was going to put in to replace the Mobil 1 that was in it. I may just hang on to the DT40 and get some more Mobil 1 and run it for a short period and then drain. I have a few filters on hand, but they are the stock type. Can you explain to me why the spin on is better? The OEM version is much easier to inspect after an oil change.
