Guys,  I decided not to remove my oil pan after seeing it was more difficult 
than I had thought.  My engine looks to be leaking from the junction of the oil 
pan and timing cover.  Iâ??m not certain it was the pan gasket.  I ended up 
tightening all the lower bolts for the timing cover and front pan.  I sprayed 
degreaser and cleaned the area.  Iâ??ll continue to watch and see if I can find 
the leak source.  
Thanks again for all your help.
