2.8 lower oil pan gasket
So it looks like the bottom oil pan is leaking near a particular bolt.
I just did an upper end re-seal and the upper oil pan does not appear to be the culprit. It leaks as soon as it is filled with oil.
Car is still in service position, can I just jack the motor up enough to get to the rear lower pan bolts? None of my torx bits will fit (them plus ratchet are too tall). Is there such a thing as a low profile torx?

Anyone know if it is ok to lift the motor with a floor jack enough to get the screws near the subframe? Remove motor mount bolts, use a block of wood to spread the force?
