Geez... I have no experience with Volvos that old...

I have done oil pan removals on B18/20 cars... had to raise the engine, and lower the crossmember. Not an easy task. Woulda been easier to just get a hoist and lift the engine out.

My question is... what makes you think its the pan gasket. Them things really don't go bad unless they are taken apart. Could it be the rear main seal? or...?

Leaked oil always collects around the pan, but in my experience, it comes from above somewhere. Sometimes even simple places such as the valve cover. If it is for sure the oil pan, I assume you've made sure the bolts are tight...?
