Bill,
If it's leaking from the front, it's quite likely it's not the oil pan but =
rather the front engine plate. While it's something like 3/16" steel, they =
can suffer from over-torquing and warp. Even though there's lots of bolts, =
seeps between them happens. Given the plate ends where the oil pan begins, =
it's pretty hart to distinguish pan vs. plate. If you clean things up REALL=
Y well, then run it for a short time, you might be able to see which it is.=
Unfortunately, it's pretty much an engine out to replace, unless you try t=
o support the front of the engine and try to remove it in situ. You could t=
ry using lots of Permatex silicone sealer when you reassemble, or buy a new=
front plate (available new in aluminum). If you convince yourself it's the=
pan, you could also purchase an aluminum one. It has a thick flat block ma=
ting surface. Good luck!
