thank you for the question hope this helps

will first Try,, torquing the pan bolts first Maybe one or two are loose. Although if your bolts are fine, you do need to change it, it's not that difficult, you just drain the oil, the exhaust pipe out of the way. remove all of the mounting bolts for the pan, drop the pan, pull all of the old gasket off both mating surfaces, put your new one on with a little bit of sealant, and you're set to go. Very simple job. Can be done at the most 25 minutes.
