Some projects never end. A simple swap of a M40 and a M41 has turned into something else. There was 36 years of oil/dirt/grease accumlated so the cleaning part was/is a bear. But, it now seem that most, if not all, of the oil leaks are coming from the oil pan gasket. Looking at the Haynes manual, they talk about dropping the front axle to remove the oil pan. That's beyond my pay grade. Has anyone replaced the gasket without removing the pan, engine, front axle, etc? If so, could you give me some directions? Thanks
Jim
