Oil pan gasket...

[TheBab]

I've got a slow leak from the oil pan ... pretty sure it just needs to be replaced. (gasket that is)


Being under the car it just looks like it'd be a major PITA to change...

How hard/easy is it really?

I'm tired of leaking oil lol...

1. Place jack/jackstands under the harmonic balancer and transmission.
2. Disconnect power steering lines, steering shaft, etc...
3. Unbolt the entire front suspension, lower, and remove.
4. Unbolt pan.
5. Install Ford one-piece blue rubber gasket
6. Reverse.

Done.

Oh, and this job is much easier if you have a friend to help. Especially if you have stock (heavy) front suspension.

Yea, basically I drop the whole Kmember?

Bingo. Sucks - but a good opportunity to upgrade to tubular front suspension! :lol:
