Oil Pan Gasket Replacement
Well it looks like I have a slight leak in my oil pan, towards the front of the engine. You can see where its seeping out between the block and pan, its not dripping but its wet.
According to the shop manual, you have to raise the motor up and off the K-member to pull the oil pan and replace the gasket. Has anyone been able to change out the oil pan gasket without lifting the motor or unbolting the mounts?? I hate to practically pull the motor for a small leak in the pan gasket.

not enough room to pull the pan without lift the motor, or removing the k-member.

Sure it's not just leaking where the timing cover meets the oil pan?

you could do the really cheap route. put silicone around where it leaks. clean it real good with carb cleaner, put a bead of silicone around it and there you go.

That does suck. Do like ^^ said and try loosening the pan and cleaning/adding silicone. May be hard to get the surface clean enough to get the silicone to stick tho. I'd drain the oil and let the car sit a day or so before refilling and starting. Be carefull with the pan bolts in the front and back. They're smaller and I hear they break easy. Use a torque wrench. Good luck.
