1) Scope and goal (short)
- Goal: stop oil leak(s) and restore correct oil containment/pressure by removing the oil pan, diagnosing the cause, repairing or replacing the pan/gasket/pickup as required, and reinstalling to correct sealing specification.
- Theory summary: the pan and its mating surface to the engine block form a static seal. Leaks come from a failed gasket/sealant, warped/damaged pan flange, damaged bolt threads/fasteners, or cracks/holes. Fixing restores a clean, flat mating surface and correct clamping load so the seal can hold oil under static and dynamic conditions.

2) Safety and preparations
- Safety: park on level ground, chock wheels, disconnect battery, use rated jack stands and wheel ramps, wear gloves/eye protection.
- Preparation: warm engine to mobilize oil (not hot), drain oil, remove/label peripheral parts that obstruct access (exhaust, crossmember, cooler lines) and put drip trays under the sump.
- Theory: draining prevents a large spill and reduces weight; removing obstructions gives clearance to remove the pan without overstressing other components.

3) Diagnose the fault (before full disassembly)
- Look for location of leak (rear, corner, drain plug, between halves) and observe oil color (fresh engine oil vs. gear/ATF) and trace upward for seepage lines.
- Check bolt torque condition (if visible) and condition of drain plug washer.
- Theory: locating the leak narrows causes—perimeter leaks point to gasket/seal; drain plug leaks to washer/plug; cracks or hits to pan body; seepage from above means a different gasket (front cover) may be culprit.

4) Controlled disassembly — step by step
a) Fully drain oil and remove oil filter.
- Theory: reduces spill and allows pan removal.
b) Remove obstructing components in logical order: exhaust section, crossmember, oil cooler lines (disconnect and plug), engine mounts if needed.
- Theory: gives clearance and prevents bending/tearing of lines during pan removal.
c) Support the engine/transmission if their mounts are loosened.
- Theory: prevents load shifts that could crack or misalign the mating surfaces.
d) Unbolt pan fasteners in a systematic sequence: loosen in small increments, working around the pan evenly.
- Theory: prevents warping the flange by releasing clamps asymmetrically.

5) Remove pan and inspect
- Remove pan and set aside, catch residual oil from pickup and screen.
- Inspect:
- Gasket/sealant residue on block and pan flange.
- Flange flatness (use straightedge); look for bends, gouges, corrosion.
- Pan body for cracks, punctures, impact damage, or corrosion holes.
- Pickup tube/screen and bolts for sludge, broken studs, or thread damage.
- Fasteners and threads in block (use thread chaser if needed).
- Drain plug and washer condition.
- Theory: root-cause is usually visible—missing/flattened gasket, uneven flange, or physical damage. Pickup or screen problems can produce low oil pressure; pan damage can produce external leaks.

6) Decide repair path (theory applied)
- If gasket/sealant failed but flange and pan are flat and undamaged: clean mating surfaces and replace gasket (or apply specified RTV).
- If flange is warped slightly: machine/straighten or use a new pan.
- If pan cracked/punctured: replace pan.
- If pickup/screen damaged or loose: replace bolts/gasket and clean/replace pickup.
- If bolt holes/threads damaged: chase threads and install helicoils or repair inserts as required.
- Theory: sealing requires proper surface flatness, correct gasket/sealant and correct clamping force. Fixing only the gasket without addressing a warped flange or damaged fasteners leads to recurrent leaks.

7) Prepare mating surfaces and parts (critical)
- Remove all old gasket material/sealant completely from block and pan using a plastic scraper and solvent; do not gouge.
- Clean both surfaces with solvent; dry and inspect again with straightedge.
- Replace damaged bolts, studs, crush washers and drain plug if needed.
- If using a multi-piece pan, check and torque the internal seam per spec.
- Theory: contaminants and old sealant compressibility prevent uniform sealing; scratches concentrate stress and allow oil migration.

8) Reassembly and sealing technique (in order)
a) If gasket type: position new OEM-design gasket; if using RTV/sealant, apply the manufacturer-specified bead width/places (corners, etc.). Do not use excessive sealant.
- Theory: gaskets need even compression. Excess sealant can squeeze into oil passages; insufficient bead causes channels.
b) Position pan and hand-start all bolts to ensure alignment.
- Theory: hand-starting prevents cross-threading and ensures even seating.
c) Torque bolts in a spiral/criss-cross pattern from center outward in incremental steps to final torque. Replace drain washer and torque plug to spec.
- Theory: incremental torquing achieves uniform clamping load across the flange; uneven torque causes gaps, warpage, or over-compression in areas.
d) Reinstall any removed components (mounts, crossmember, exhaust) and reconnect oil cooler lines.
- Theory: restoring original geometry ensures no new stresses on the pan flange.

9) Fluid refill and initial test
- Refill with correct oil grade to the specified level, fit a new filter, reconnect the battery.
- Start engine, idle and inspect for leaks for several minutes; check oil pressure gauge. Turn off and re-torque bolts if the manual calls for re-torque after warm cycle.
- After cool-down, re-check the torque and look for slow seepage.
- Theory: running the engine pressurizes the system and subjects the seal to temperature changes—this reveals leaks and allows sealant to cure. Re-torque accounts for gasket compression during first heat cycles.

10) How the repair fixes the fault (concise)
- Cleaning and replacing the gasket/sealant removes degraded, compressible material and contamination that allowed oil to migrate.
- Restoring flatness and replacing damaged bolts restores even clamping force so the gasket or sealant forms a continuous barrier.
- Replacing cracked or punctured pan removes the physical path for oil to escape.
- Repairing pickup/screen or threads restores internal integrity so pressure and oil flow are correct and so there are no abnormal stresses or movement that would break the seal again.

11) Common pitfalls to avoid
- Reusing old gasket or over-applying sealant.
- Overtorquing bolts (causes flange distortion).
- Not checking flatness or thread condition.
- Not replacing drain plug washer/crush washer.
- Not documenting torque pattern or specs—use the Hino 700 workshop manual for torque values and specific sealant models.

12) Final checks and preventive actions
- Road or load-test, then re-inspect after 50–200 km for leaks.
- Keep oil change intervals and clean oil screens to prevent sludge that can cause pickup clogging and premature repairs.
- Theory: preventing contamination and maintaining service intervals reduces stress on seals and reduces risk of repeat failures.

Note: This is a theory-driven procedure; follow Hino 700 workshop manual for exact torque specifications, sealant part numbers, and any engine-specific sequences or two-piece pan details.
