93 Twin turbo 80K on engine. Oil pan leaks. Tried 3 times to replace pan gasket with and without new pan itself from mazda. still leaks. Is it a difficult fix or are the guys doing it not knowledgeable enough?

if you used a new pan and gasket, and it still leaks, your leak is most likly not from the oil pan. Possible leak points could be the oil metering pump, turbo oil return lines, or even a leak between 2 housings
