Yes, but you have the tools that can be used many times.

 

oh yeah. i wasnt mad about the tools, i need them all the time. if i need a tool i go buy it cuz ill need it. i was just expecting to have them all by now but the one i needed a 7/16 deep wall socket wasnt in my set and i went and the only one they had was in a set of 8 and were for a 1/2 inch drive so it was like 45 bucks alone.

 

you found a leaf in the pickup screen ? my my.

ok, clean it all up and put it back together.

the thing hanging off the oil pump is the pickup tube and screen. the tube will unscrew from the pump. its just a big piece of metal - there's no need to replace it. just unscrew the pipe, make sure its clean, and put it all back together. unless you have a specific problem, there's no need to replace the pump. they pretty much last forever.

 

well the screen in the pickup tube was clogged with some junk. but now its all clean

I didnt find a leak just that the screen was clogged. I am going to get some oil in the morning and put it all together and see if it worked if not i dunno what to do probably drain the oil again and replace the oil pump


If this screen was clogged would it cause a drop in oil pressure, im guessing it a yes but i just want to know before filling it back up with oil

 

absolutely !!

 

What he said! if the pump can't pump there will be no pressure

 

I was just curious if I read it wrong or everyone else missed it but didnt he say the oil was "black and milky, and came out so slow". When he drained it? Maybe another problem besides leaf on screen.

 

I know it goes without saying, but I hope you cleaned out your oil pan real well before putting it back together.

 

oh yes oh yes, everything got cleaned the best it and im getting ready to put it back together now

 

The milky part don't sound good.
Are you losing any coolant?
