Depending on the car you will have to lift the motor up a little to have enough room to get the pan off. Then you will need new gaskets/seals for the pan...might be a good idea to check the oil pump for wear...and maybe replace it as well. This will also give you a chance to inspect the bottom end of the motor and make sure the bearings are ok.

good luck..wilma
