not quite sure im trying to picture it in my head but i cant, A picture would definately help big time. If you could sn atch a pic that would be great. The oil pan gasket can be done in the car but its not easy. you have to undo the motor mounts and jack it up and finagle it a bit but it can be done. To be honest with you pulling the motor or dropping the k member would be a hell of alot easier to me

The motor can be lifted to change the oil pan gasket, but it is much easier when the motor is out.
