Well for those who been lurking I cracked my oil pan on a man hole that was above normal road conditions cause of the inconsiderate construction workers.
This is what I did and it ruined me for a couple of days lol

Tools/Parts Needed:
- A Helping Hand
- 5 quarts of new oil- I used Mobil 1 extended 5w 30
- 10mm-17mm socket just in-case if you strip a rusted bolt
- Ultra Black hi-temp RTV silicone gasket maker( I used some blue stuff though)
- lots of jack stands, scissor jack, floor jack and blocks of wood
- New Oil Pan
- A Strong leg
- All together it took us about 2 and a half hours not a very hard diy if you were to ask me pretty simple and straight to the point
1)Drain all oil on a level plane then Jack the car up and place jack stands
2)Remove the exhaust hanger bolts o2 sensor plug and header bolts to drop it all down for clearance
3)Apply multiple stacks of plank wood i used 3 and put the scissor on top of it and jack the lower bottom of the engine you should be able to find a clear spot
4)With you jacking up the engine you should be able to unbolt the engine mount and start unlbolting the bolts to the oil pan and be sure to make sure all oil is out i still luckily had a swallow of oil left
5)You should be able to see all this of what I see when removed and by the way to the right of the oil pan is a cover to the tranny which needs to be removed since theyre are 2 more long screws tucked in
This is what I did and it ruined me for a couple of days lol
6)Get New oil Pan ready and apply sealant gasket. Careful when sliding back in cause you want to keep the sealant nicely lined up so you will have no future oil leaks. Then Voila youre fini.
