Oil pan leak???

[driftedtofu]

So there seems to be a pretty substantial amount of oil on and around my oil pan. It goes all the way around the oil pan and about a cm above it all the way around. I figured it was the oil pan gasket, but Im unsure.

Any ideas/ repair help?

clean the living hell out of it, all the way around. nice and shiney, then run it round the block awhile. check it, you see oil, replace it. there pretty cheap

if it is the oil pain just redo the gasket

I heard the oil pan was a **tch to remove and install. Something about having to remove the cross member, but I really am having a hard time believing that. I also was told I could get it off if I put the front of the car on stands, then jack the motor up to get clearance...

The confusion is the only reason I haven't changed mine yet. Got a big old ding in the front of the pan, and it leaks from the gasket.

Front main seal????

for the pan, dropping the sway bar down outa the way should give you plenty of room. or if you want, you can just jack the motor up an inch
