I have a 82 k5 2wd and have a pretty bad oil leak coming from the pan gasket. My question will the pan come out with out having to raise the engine. Any help or pointers would be great.

Have a couple of short pieces of 2X4 blocks ready, pull the through bolts on the mounts, jack engine up just high enough to get the blocks between the mounts halves, using a 6X6 block between the pan and the jack, shove the 2X4 blocks into place and lower engine onto them.
There should now be enough room to remove the pain, I mean pan.
