Hard to say. I'd prob change the RMS out while I'm here.

Oil pan is such a pita I'd just cross my fingers after the RMS and deal with it if I have a reason to pull motor

I do agree, if it's the one or two drops on the floor after sit'n a few days live with it, doesn't appear to be more than a seepage problem.

Yeah, but it took forever to clean the oil off the trans, bellhousing and every other part under there. It was covered with grit and oil!! Would like it to be clean and dry down there, but doesn't look like it will happen unless the engine gets pulled.

Can't you take the nuts off the motor mounts and jack the motor up enough to change the oil pan gasket without pulling it?

I tried that, even pulled the rack down, couldn't get it done, mines a stick so pulled the trans and yanked it out anyway.
Someone may have been more successful.

Don't have anyway to jack up the engine. Car is being worked on in my tight garage space with barely enough room to walk between the car.
