My oil pan might/ probably is seeping oil, but slowly.
There are two dents, one of which i know perforated it (and is sealed with jb weld and fiberglass cloth), and I suspect that maybe the plugs aren't sealing perfectly. The threads seem loose.
So in pursuit of perfection I'd like to change the pan.
Coworkers swears he did these back in the day, by removing the intake and jacking up the engine, and could actually get it high enough to PULL the pan.
I did this to get to the pump, but never got the pan out, didn't feel like I'd be able to. But if I can... I'll get 'er done. I don't like this imperfection!
I won't bother if it's more work than this even (e.g., pulling the engine basically, to get the pan).
For what it's worth, I need to pull the transmission next Thursday-- if I can get the engine any higher with the trans out too? Doubt it though.
