Well to sum it up ive cracked the oil pan. In order to replace the pan i would have to pull the motor due to the lack of space in the s10. As of now i have stopped the leak by placing some marine tex on the 3" hairline crack along the bottom of the pan. I want everyones input on what they would do. Can you place a metal sheet that covers the crack and tac it to hold or is this not a good idea? Im placing longtubes and an underdrive pulley on this upcoming week, witch would probably be alot easier with the motor pulled, but if i dont have to pull it i dont want to. And if i do pull it what would be some things to do while its out?

 

Ive decided to pull the motor. Any suggestions on things to check or do while the motors out?

 

Maybe replace the rear main seal. Other than that just look for any leaks.
