Oil Pan Removal

Oil pan on my 85 GSL-SE is leaking. Can I remove the oil pan without removing the engine?

I am told you can do this by unbolting the ideler arm. I have the same problem and I am going to be working on it this week. I'll let you know.

It can be done with the engine in the car. The front bolts will be a bit of a pain since they are right above the cross member but it's doable.
