I have a 95 Taurus GL Sedan with 3.8L engine with a slight leak in engine oil pan, mainly due to rusting through (from salty northern New England winters).
For an oil pan replacement, can anyone tell me what must be removed first, so oil pan can drop down clear enough to be removed. Also, if exhaust pipe must be removed, is it easier to unbolt both exhaust manifolds from heads then drop down bolted assembly vs. dealing with rusty bolted pipes down below? Any advice is much appreciated......
