Hey all,
I've been changing my clutch out on my truck and I noticed that the rear of the oil pan gasket it protruding from the back of the engine block by the flywheel. It is leaking a bit of oil and the lazy person inside me slapped a bunch of RTV on their but I know it is not gonna hold for long. I've read that it is possible to change the pan gasket without pulling the engine. Will it be easier with the transmission already removed? Anyone have any advice or tips to make this easier? You can see it protruding in the bottom right of the image. The gasket seems like it is about to just pop out! Either that or the gasket is wider than I am thinking.
