Angry LS1 Oil leaks

I have a 99 B4C A4, it seems to bee leaking oil from the oil pan gasket. I have been under the car looking and it seems to be dry all over above the oil pan, and wet EVERYWHERE below. Front to back and both sides. Does anyone know if the oil pan be removed and the gasket replaced with the engine in the car? Has anybody ever tried this? All the bolts are accessible, It just looks like there may not be enough room to swing the pan down and clear the sump and the bell housing. Any Ideas?

You have to losen the engine cradle and raise engine. Check the oil pressure sending unit as they are prone to leak.

Unfortunately it is located on the back side of your intake manifold. Search for pictures of an intake manifold for reference.
