 OK, so the transmission is out, and I'm thinking, while I'm down here, should I try to pull the engine oil sump and replace the gasket/ reseal the flange? It looks like a small amount of oil is coming out around the oil pan flange, but the major leak was, as I suspected, the rear main seal.

When I had the transmission out of my Datsun pickup last winter, I went ahead and pulled the pan and put in a new gasket, and it's as tight as a drum now. But I'm not sure it's as easy to pull the pan off my Lotus engine as that nice, simple Nissan motor.

What are folks' thoughts?

Cheers,

Edward
