valley pan...

You'll need some allen keys, regular tools, nothing fancy. Get all new gaskets and one of those magnet sticks, very usefull. I'll look for the write up.

Here is another write-up with pictures. To be honest i don't think the valley pan is the leak that

you are looking for. I bet it is leaking but I really doubt it is coming down the front of your engine. It would have to be leaking really bad for it to come out the front. When the valley pan gasket leaks it comes out the back of the engine and onto the transmission housing. If the leak is at the front of the engine I would guess that it is a cam, dipstick, upper pan gasket, etc. Keep us updated...<ul><li><a href="http://www.12v.org/maintenance/repairs/checkvalves.php">Valley pan write-up</a></li></ul>
