I had a bad repair job by a shop a couple of years ago and my oil pan still leaks horribly, I tried one night to replace the pan and gasket (shop did not put a gasket in) and was unable to remove it.

Is there some trick to removing the oil pan on this vehicle? Minus separating the engine from the transmission and completely pulling it?


Please help hate leaving this oil slick wherever I park, and suspect it is why i have a loss of power going up hills in 5th gear.
