in my experience, most leaks respond well to tightening the nuts a
little, making sure the rocker cover gasket isn't leaking, the pcv valve
is not blocked, and using a decent oil that has seal conditioners like
castrol.

Hello, Group:

When you replace the oil pan gasket for this make/model, do I need to
also replace the oil pan?  I have some leaking from the gasket area of
the pan, so I'm trying to take the easiest way out.  Also, are there
any tutorials on the Internet to do this job?

Thanks,
