Hey guys I am on my way back up from a crank shat seal/timing chain cover gasket replacement. I added oil and noticed what seem to be my clean oil seeping down over the front leaf spring bolts. What I need to know is to replace the pan gasket is can I drop the front suspension with out removing the leaf spring? I realy dread this job especily after Ive done so much work. So any help will be greatly appreciated.[X(]

 

Yeah, I think you can get it out. I remember doing it and I did not remove the spring, but I may had had to loosen the motor mounts and move it a bit, can't remember.
