Okay, I have a leak around my oil pan. I'm not sure exactly where it is coming from, but I wantv to get it fixed ASAP.

1) Can I pull the pan with the motor still in or by loosen the mounts and lifting it slightly with a hoist?

2) Someone had mentioned a one-piece gasket kit for an oil pan before. Where can i buy one of these and do they work well? I can just imagine it being a real pain to get the front and rear seals in place while the motor is still in the truck.

Thanks for any advise.
