Oil pan sealer - when 'more is better' philosophy is used
Just bought s 2003 X-Type with what I thought was mild leak but turned out to be worse than I thought. Have turned a wrench or 2 in my day decided to give it go at changing the gasket. Knew the prior hack job looked bad and was even worse than I thought:
Hope to have it cleaned and back in in a few days.

Tried the bent wench method but could not the angle right plus I think the bolts where over tightened so did not think I could get enough torq on it to free so drilled it. I wasted 8 hrs or so trying to loosen the trans case and removing the front cat ( did not get either loose) to give me room to get the pan out but finally just used a couple pry bars to get it out, one on the trans case and the other on the cat. Did not have to apply much pressure. Will do some grinding on the pan which should which should give enough room to get it back in place without have to pry on it.
