SO after I bought this sled last year I saw a few drops of coolant on the floor but I could never see where it was coming from. Now I have the subframe off and can see it appears to be coming from the gasket between the oil pan and the lower half onf the crank case. Is this possible? Does coolant pass through the oil pan? If someone who has had the oil pan of could let me know I would appreciate it. I included a pic of where it apears to be coming from. Thanks

By the looks of ur pic. I would say it was leaking from your thermostat which is located just above that part of the engine. The hose clamp is a flimsy piece of $&?@. Replace with a sturdy bolt clamp and that should resolve your issue. The bottom oil pan is just that, oil... No coolant there...
Hope that helps..

It does make feel alot better, I didnt think coolant flowed through the pan but manufactures do crazy things. I will heed your advice, thanks for the easy fix.
