[TECH] Oil Pan Gasket

[jasonfsnow at optonline.net (Jason F. Snow)]

So I finally get to the point where I can put oil in the engine.I go out
the next day and ther's a small puddle of oil underneath the car.
 
Since every gasket on the engine is brand new, I was kind of expecting
to tighten some stuff here in there so I wasn't that concerned.
 
I crawled under the car to take a look and it was coming from the oil
pan, near the transmission side.
 
I'm missing a bolt! WTH was I thinking, I need to put a bolt right where
the engine and tranny meet! There's no way to get in there with a
socket! I can't imagine having to separate the engine and tranny just to
replace the oil pan gasket, so is there something I'm missing.A tool
perhaps.Something besides common sense.?
