why is there always 1 bolt that is a pain in the butt?

Hmm Im pretty sure Im not suppose to be able to remove the bolts holding the oil pan to the engine with my fingers. Wonder if them being so loose is causing the leak.

Im going to go through and tighten them all up again and fill it up with oil, see if it leaks anymore

I'd bet money that's what it was.. I've had that happen on more then one occasion.
