Had a custom oil pan put in a while back. Think I have a lead coming from two small bolts that had to be drilled into the oil pan. What do you recommend to seal the bolts up. Rather not use plumbers tape on these.

Liquid teflon in the threads and wrap it (the bolt threads) with teflon tape. Pretty standard procedure.

Loctite thread sealant should do the job.
