Check the oil pan flange, especially near the bolt holes, for warped areas. If necessary, level the mating surface of the pallet with a hammer on a wooden block.
Check the fastening of the oil pick-up tube and the absence of cracks in it. If the oil pickup tube was removed, clean it and install with a new O-ring or gasket. Check the oil pickup strainer for dirt.
