Re: 1999 chevy silverado 5.3 engine oil pan has water in...
That's really bad if the antifreeze has made it into the oil pan.It'll wipe your rod and main bearings quickly. Might be the dreaded head gasket problem. don-ohio
Could someone have possibly poured water into the oil? Need more info.,J. don-ohioCould someone have possibly poured water into the oil? Need more info.,J. don-ohio

I tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my ford explorer. it wont move forward or
reverse, engine is good both solenoids for forward and reverse work.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and works perfect! got it from www.reliable-store.com
it could have either a 4L80-E or a 4L60-E transmission here is a picture of the transmission oil pan for each, just poke you head under there and see which oil pan matches yours....good luck
yes near oil filter and did you change oil latly and didnt remove the old gasket of the filter sometime its sticks to the engine and you dont see it if not sure where the leak is wash engine good and run it for a few minutes to see exactly where leak is
you have a cracked head most likely there was a batch of heads with a castech casting mark that caused some problems just like what you describe. here are some pics of what to look for.
I believe the sensor in the pan is for the low oil level sensor. The oil pressure sensor is at the back of the engine, by the intake manifold, towards the passenger side.
Step 1
Raise the truck using the proper equipment. Use a ramp or a jack and jack stands to support the vehicle securely by following all directions for use provided by this equipment's manufacturer.
Step 2
Drain all oil from the Silverado by placing an oil drip pan under the vehicle's engine block, directly under the oil drain plug. The drain plug is located on the oil pan, between the vehicle's tires underneath the vehicle. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the plug allowing the oil to drain into the pain below.
Step 3
Notice the various items attached to the oil pan or in the way of the oil pan dropping. For the oil pan to drop, remove the negative battery cable, front differential (only for four-wheel drive vehicles) and the under body shield by using a wrench or socket set.
Step 4
Remove the oil pan shield by loosening the four bolts holding it in place along the edges of the shield. Then, remove the cross brace, oil filter, the transmission to oil pan bolts and the oil level sensor.
Step 5
Follow the removal of those pieces by removing the bolts from the two front wiring harness, the engine wiring harness retainer, engine oil cooler pipe to oil bolts and the transmission oil cooler pipe retainer using a wrench. Located the closeout covers and bolts located on each side of the engine and remove them.
Step 6
Disconnect each of the oil pan bolts using a wrench that will allow the oil pan to drop. The oil pan gasket will also fall off and replacement should occur before reinstalling the oil pan.
drain plug in in deepest part of oil pan ,looks like a bolt. loosen it then remove with a pan under it to catch all old oil, easy to drain,thanks robert b.
