Upper Oil Pan leak

[jcquick]

I recently found an oil leak. I originally thought the leak was coming from my Greddy oil pan. So I re-RTV'd the oil pan clean up everything. Hours later, the leak was back. I determined the leak was coming from the Upper oil pan. So my question is, do I need to take off the Greddy Oil pan in order to remove the upper oil pan? I don't wanna go through that mess again since I found one of the bolt holes stripped and I had to insert a Helicoil to rethread that mess. Please let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thank you guys.

Sr20? Yes. There are no dumb questions, but do you use the fsm for torque values?
You can get it online for free and it would have saved you from answering this question.

I did this a looong time ago and I am pretty sure I had to do a little "extra work" to get it off in the car...

Yea that's a shitty job to do with the motor in.

I am proud of you for diagnosing where the oil was leaking from. most people around here simply aren't capable
