Weld beads, eh? Well damn. I thought they were dried oil droplets.
By the way... so last night I'm lying on my back with frozen fingers and
toes underneath a 27 year old car in the unheated shed, and I'm covered in
grease, gunk and oil. I turned to my dog and said "Good thing this is a
labor of love - otherwise we'd be having a really [expletive deleted] lousy
time." She wagged in agreement.
Cheers (and I will check for welds!),

Frank,
You've obviously reached your level of tolerance with this pan, ha,
ha.......this may sound really "off the wall" but have you checked to see if
what appears to be an overtightened oil pan gasket squishing out between pan
and block isn't really a weld bead from a crazed PO?
