    I'm starting to see a greasy looking oil pan on my car with oil forming on the bolt heads. Is oil pan gasket replacement possible without pulling the engine? The bolts over towards the passenger side are going to be a real ***** to get to lol.

    drop the subframe a little and you can wiggle it out, but its still a pain to do.

    You can do it in the car, I had to lift the engine up a good 6 inches to get it out and that still took a lot of finagling to get it out. Huge pain in the ass.

    Ah hell, I was afraid of that. I assume your guys' oil pan gaskets started leaking too eh?
