Question - dropping the oil pan

I think I need to put a new gasket in for the oil pan. I am dripping a good amount of oil.

The leak started after I installed a new balancer (OEM one separated). When the stock balancer gave way, the outer ring road down onto the front of the motor (timing cover and oil pan I think).

So when I first saw the leak, I thought it was because I forgot to silicone the bolt and washer. I pulled the bolt back out, and sealed that up. Still leaks.

I'm guessing its from the oil pan to block seal.

So with that story, I am wondering how big a job it is to drop the oil pan and put a fresh seal on there. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Actually, I had the shop do it while they were looking for my electrical short. So I guess I should start there.

I checked the Haynes manual and see that pulling the pan completely is a major job. So I'll be taking a closer look to try to find the source of the issue before going down that road.
