|  Oil Pan Gasket
I have an oil leak and it looks like the oil pan gasket needs to be replaced. Is this something I can do on my back in the garage? If not, what should I expect to pay to have it done? The car is a 1990 roadster, Automatic. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Hi there, It will drop out the bottom. Labor time is about 3 hours. Felpro has a very good gasket with holders for the pan while you torque it in place. Allthebest, c4c5 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Thanks C4C5. I'll get it up in the air and see what it looks like. Looks pretty straight forward in the shop manual but we all know that there are things taken for granted in the factory manual that us "shade-tree" guys don't know.

Just a tip..you probably know this but here it goes, use a small amount of RTV sealant in the corners of the block where the humps begin and let it set-up about 15 minutes before instaling the the gaskets and the pan.
