Recently installed Z1 oil pan leaking

I hope the gasket re-installation fixes 2Cool's leak.

RE: Salty Z1 fan boy

There is literally nothing wrong with the way Z1 conducts it's business. I think their very reasonable prices do reflect the quality of their China manufactured products. They have done a bang up job expanding all Q and Z's fan base and offering undoubtedly the widest selection of parts bar none. I'm glad they exist.

Bottom line, aside from a couple of high end, cad designed, in-house fabricated parts: Z1's standard bolt on product offerings (especially their suspension components) are entry level at best. Manufactured by the lowest bidder. That's why their prices are so good. Rep it bra.

LOL. You think you're being clever, but moving goalposts to "entry-level suspension parts" just proves you can't argue the actual mechanics of an oil pan. Aluminum doesn’t magically warp three weeks after an install. You guys are so desperate to circlejerk about Z1 that you’ll ignore reality.

Enjoy repping your Dorman pan and Alibaba carbon, "bra."

Nobody is saying warpage is definitely what happened, just one possibility, along with bolt tightness, the plane of the mating surface, or the gasket. Bolts and/or gasket are the most likely two and exactly where I'd start with the diagnosis.
