Hi, I have a 2000 dx with the 1.6. The oil pan gasket just started to leak. Does the trans have to be dropped to change it? It looks to be behind some of the bolts.

 

no

 

no what? The trans looks to be in the way. Is this not the case?

 

Do you mean the oil plug gasket? If you don't change your own oil, chances are it has never been changed. It's just a metal ring that goes around the oil drain plug that only costs a few cents. As with all gaskets, they should not be reused. Is this what you mean, or are there other oil pan gaskets?

 

this is the the 2.0 but it should help.

on a side not, the 2.0 doesn't have a gasket, its flush metal with really good glue. hope it helps
