Thanks for the info, KD, though I can confirm the crank seal is solid. Its the oil pan like I initially suspected, I made a channel where I thought the oil pan was leaking out of RTV and can now literately see it bleeding as soon as the engine is on. Its losing quite a lot of oil now so my hand is forced to have to do it.

The only thing is I don't have access to a shop/lift any more; I called around and no one wants to rent me one at night or on a weekend if its slow. Anyone in So. Cal with a lead on a shop that will rent there lifts? Or a groupbuy/tech day or something?

Worst case scenario and I have destroy my body even further and try to do it on the ground, can I get away taking out just the passenger side front output shaft to drop and replace the pan? It looks snug but from some rough eyeball measurements it looks possible. Anyone have previous experience feel free to chime in.

Upon further inspection it looks like it may have been done quite recently, as the RTV excessively runs throughout the pan. I just hope its a broken seal that didn't sit right and not a minute imperfection of the pan itself when removed.
