Thank you for the information. I will do so within a couple of weeks if I luck out and get a warm weekend.

I took my car to my mechanic and they informed me that there are two oil pans (a small oil pan attached to larger oil pan that is attached to the engine). The oil leak is coming from the small oil pan which is on the bottom. There is a piece of suspension that may block the lower pan if it is removed. It looks tight. I wanted to know if anyone had attempted and/or suceeded in replacing the gasket on the lower oil pan? The mechanic quoted me a price of $400 to replace the gasket on the lower oil pan.

Does anyone know how to install an inner tie rod on the passenger side of the GS300. I am having some vibrations in my steering wheel and when I turn the wheel to the right all the way, I get a bumping feeling in my tires. There is some play in it according to my mechaninc. Thanks.
