i had a leaky oil pan gasket for the longest time and i had replaced it a good 4 times. you need to lift the engine up about 3-5 inches if you want to replace the oil pan or gasket. it was easy with my engine lift. take carb off, put on lift plate where carb was, take off fan shroud and lift. the rear main requires the same procedure plus replacing the rear main seal.
