Oil pan sealing

How big of a job is this on a 954?

I'm convinced I have a weep kick stand side. Is it necessarily always a pan off and liquid gasket job, or possibly just need to tighten bolts down?

Cheers.

Hi Dec, definitely just have a try at tightening them up first, don't want to be taking the exhaust off in case it's just loose

Check the drain plug and gasket. It may be running down the pan to the lowest point. Once those seals crush a few times, they don't seal so well anymore.
