whats leaking? the timing cover or the sump gasket? because you can reseal the timing cover without dropping the sump, fairly easy job as i did mine last weekend, but don't know about the sump?

you should be able to jack the car up and remove the crossmember to drop the sump. i got one out with the motor in the car in an ea, but that was a pain...
i think the lower suspension control arms bolt into the crossmember, so this is why you need to jack the front end up. shouldn't be a very difficult job... i'm sure someone will tell you otherwise if it can't be done. |
