Hey when I did mine like 3 times.. never had a problem with it leaking. it has like an aluminum gasket with a thick o-ring attached to it in the middle. And get a 10mm rachet wrench. well worth it. theres a couple that I had a hard time gettin my big hands in there.
I would definently make sure the o-ring is in damn good cause mine was a bastard when i put the new oring in, when i re-assembled everything it slid right in though.
something else. there are aluminum shims behind the oil pump. just a heads up wish i would have known that.

I didn't have to... I just loosened all the pan bolts and dropped it down as far as I could. It's pretty tight but you should be able to do it with out dropping the k-member.
