The easiest way is to pull the engine out. The hard way is to do it in the car, jack the engine up against the floorpan, break the distributor cap and fan shroud, struggle like hell for a day or two. Don't forget to order new skin for your knuckles, it's in the Summit catalog under white meat.

Have you tried snugging up the pan bolts? Also, better make sure the rear main seal is OK, pretty good chance this where most of the leak really is. The seal is not much fun to do in the car either.

Just my $.02

While your at it use a fel-pro one piece silicone pan gasket.
