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

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