This job is quite cramped. The reason for all the leaks is that there are two passageways with higher pressure in the oil pan. I recommend using a Fel-Pro gasket and applying supplementary high-performance RTV or Ultra Black sealant near the cavities and the timing cover.
Bank 2 Cat: Remove the two 15mm nuts on the Bank 2 catalytic converter.
A/C Compressor: Partially unbolt the A/C compressor using a 13mm wrench, allowing about 1 inch of clearance.
Undercarriage: Lower the undercarriage by 3 inches on the passenger side by removing the three 21mm bolts (one of which is for the power steering).
Engine Mount: Remove the top engine mount bolt.
Lift the Engine: Use an engine hoist or jack to lift the engine slightly to gain better access.
Before installation, allow the oil to drip for 24 hours. When mounting the oil pan, slide the downpipe back and forth to align it. Insert a clean rag into three separate areas to prevent oil seepage. Then, quickly remove said rags and install the oil pan with RTV and the gasket.
