So i have a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4. I went to get my oil changed today and also a oil leak checked out. They said at the shop it was a oil pan gasket and it would cost $717. So I decided not to do it. I got home and looked myself and I'm wondering how in the heck it cost $717. Its not like I need to take the whole oil pan out just the lower half which is simply held on by some bolts. I can see I'll have about 4 or 5 in to work with putting in the new oil pan gasket, but i see on the forums people saying take the engine out and everything. My question is why? I don't see how I would need to raise the engine at all. My other question is what's the ban behind the oil pan? I noticed something dripping from there too. Its about 8 or 9 in away from the oil pan and is just held on by like 6 bolts.
