oil pan gasket

**caravello510** · 07-22-2009, 08:01 PM

I have a 2000 trans am and my oil pan gasket is leaking, very slowly, but it needs to done. can someone let me know what it will intale.
I read that the motor has to be lifted we have a cherry picker. But how much does it need to come out? all the way? and what all need to be disconected first? Is it real easy to screw up?
please let me know!
thanks...

This is not going to be easy, but it does not require removal from the frame. You might want to wait until you have the engine out. Good time to take care of that and your motor mounts too.
