Spider said:ok i got drips all over the bottom of my pan. leaks about 10 drops, only seems to drip for about 20 mins from parking the car than stops.
how hard is it to change the oil pan gasket ?
could it be something else, if so how hard would that be to change ?
blue72super said:Could be valve covers, as they only have to seal when the engines running. When the engine is off all the oil for the valves runs back into the pan.

From there its easy, and the work is not all that bad with 2 ppl.
Change those motor mounts while youre there too....Prolly just as easy to change both mounts that way as any other way that has been outlined here come to think of it...Somebody will probably disagree with that, but oh well...
