oil leak from motor mount/oil pan area - how to fix?

I have a 94 FD where one of the motor mounts are on the oil pan. I am leaking oil and 99% sure that it's come that place. Not a lot but very annoying and would like to know how to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance.

search for oil pan reseal because that is what you'll be doing, but before make sure is not coming from your rear main seal by opening one of the service ports on the bell housing and make sure theres no oil in there. in short you'll have to take the trans. out, clutch , then flywheel and replace the seal. or take either your motor out or your subframe off the reseal the pan. some have done it by jacking the motor up then wiggling the pan out, but whatever floats your boat.

While you are resealing the pan add an oil pan brace: http://www.banzai-racing.com/product..._pan_brace.htm

1+ for the pan brace. love it. then you can use two steel mounts rather than the aluminum one.

Check out my thread from a few weeks ago... I had an identical problem, some pics posted, and it turned out to be the oil pan.
