S2 ABY Oil pan removal (oil leak)

[Julian Iversen]

Hello. I Think my oil pan is leaking. Do I have to lift the engine to get it off? To me it looks like it is very close to the front axle

you probably need to remove the subframe to get it off.

You need to remove 2off the subframe bolts ( can't remember if it's the fronts or rears, sorry ) to let it drop down a bit, then you can get the sump out. No need to move the engine. Don't forget about the 2 bolts in the gearbox bellhousing.
