Oil Pan Seal Rings
Pulled my pan to weld on turbo oil drain, installed it and don't seem to have any problems. However, another thread in here made me check the factory service manual, and I found this
I did not install these 2 "oil pan seal rings". What are they for, and do I need to pull the pan again?

I re-used mine since they were not included in the OEM’s re-build gasket kit.
After all, any oil leaking past them just ends up in the oil pan, where it is destined anyway.

Don't underestimate the siphoning action at work. That's the whole point of those drain tubes. They cost money to make and should not be neglected.
