Re: How hard to change oil pan gasket?

It is extremely rare that the split between oil pan and engine block is leaking. It is no gasket there but an anerobic sealant that holds up very well.
I would clean the area good and maybe put some leak dye into the engine oil and study with a U/V light where the leak is.
Front and rear engine seals are likely culprits together with oil pressure sensor and maybe valve cover gasket.
Maybe even the cylinder headgasket is weeping oil.
You need to have someone familiar with Saabs look at the car and it might be obvious for that person to see what's leaking.
