I want to replace the oil pan seal and gasket. Can this be done without taking the engine out?

[caddydaddy]

Is it leaking? The common leak is the case half seal, which is above the oil pan. And yes, I believe that can all be done with the engine in the car.

Yes it's leaking. Not very fast. I currently have it jacked up to where it's leaning toward to the drivers side and it leaks more toward that side being jacked up. I had it jacked up to where it was leaning toward the passenger side and it didn't leak. Long story short, I didn't know if the job could be done without removing the engine.
