i have a bad oil leak, seems to be coming from the oil pan gasket. I guess when my cuzn put the motor back together he didnt tighten the bolts correctly. I cant seem to get under there well enough too tighten the bolts again. theres just not enough room. there a frame pan thingy there and well, im just getting frustrated. any suggestions on how to get to it better, or how to get that oil leak stopped . thanks

common problem on FD's. they allways leak, espesially if you use the mazda gasket. Ito came up with a good fix that works 100% of the time.. I'll find the link

To do it properly, you are going to need to drop the subframe.

is that possible without having to remove all the front end?

is it a gasket or silicone in there now?

nope. Just disconnect ir from the frame and some suspension junk.
