oil pan leak

I've got a minor leak from the oil pan gasket. Nothing major enough to require removing the pan as that seems to be a PITA.

Has anyone used MaxLife oil or anything to stop leaks like this or have any suggestions on how to stop/slow it down a bit without removing the cross member and pan?

not to much you can do there! You will just have to change the gasket!! but first try tightening the bolts on the pan to make sure they are not loose. Have you done anything to the pan before?

just a FYI...there's NO GASKET on the oil pan.

it's all RTV. only "gasket" is the rubber pieces on the ends by the crank. if you're leaking in that area i would check your oil/crank seals. the oil pan usually hold it's seal for a while.
