I am not sure about the 124 with a gasser, but most cars you can't
get the oil pan off with the engine in the car. Most Diesels have a
smaller oil sump pan that is removable to allow access to the oil
pump. I always use a silicone for-a-gasket, with or without the
paper gasket.
You might be able to loosen the bolts in the car enough to be able to
squirt a little of the form-a gasket in all around, and then tighten
it back up. Sounds like a lot of work for just a drip. You could
try some of the leak sealer stuff sold at the FLAPS
Assuming the pan has the typical 6mm allenhead capscrews (5mm wrench
size) you want them snug, and that is about all. probably 18-20
Ft-lb. The larger bolts go about 25-28 ft-lb

Hi Gang,
Putting some highway miles on the W134 gas engine over the past few days.
Still cold here and it has the thinner oil in it. I notice a small drip of
oil after a run. Cleaned all the engine and concluded it's the oil pan
gasket. I don't have manuals yet, but I take it you drop the sound shield,
then the pan? Does the book call for gasket sealer with the new gasket, or
just put it in dry? Also, what are the torque numbers for the oil pan nuts?
Thanks,
Ed
