Would replacing the oil pan and valve cover gasket plus the crank sensor o ring be a hard project for shop day? :) :indi:

I'd be willing to bet you a coke you don't need the pan gasket, 99% of the time it's the crank sensor o-ring that's leaking, and running down the lip of the pan making it look like it's leaking.

Changing the valve cover and sensor o-ring is doable......
