Oil Pan Removal
Has anyone removed the 3400 oil pan without removing the subframe, or the engine from the car? I have an oil leak from the pan gasket, but don't want to brake it loose to find out I have to take the subframe out.

Hopefully, someone will chime in and say this stuff isn't necessary, but according to Haynes, you have to remove the:
serpentine drivebelt
belt tensioner
lower splash pan
oil-level sensor
A/C compressor
right side ball joint and lower control arm
front exhaust pipe
steering gear pinch bolt
flywheel/driveplate lower cover
starter
hood????
passenger side upper engine mount, then the lower
through bolt holding the driver's side transaxle mount to the frame
retaining bolts securing the mount to the transaxle
crankshaft pulley
Finally, the oil pan is ready for removal after unplugging some connectors and removing it's 12 or so bolts. Like I said, maybe someone can simplify this.

This from experience or just the haynes service manual? Cause if its that bad im going to start buying bulk oil till the motor blows or the James Bond oil slick stops working.

^^nope, strictly from Haynes. In fact, I don't recall ever reading anywhere on here that anyone ever had a reason to.

Well thats another fear that it isn't the oil pan but the main crank seal on the trans side, witch of course the trans has to come out. But can't see. I put the engine oil UV dye in, and its press obvious on the back of the block mid pan there is an excess, but not dripping from above.

Don't forget about a possible leak from the oil pump drive gear o-ring.
