Remove the oil pick up? It has two bolts on it, I pulled it off last week Friday so I could get the gasket off and the new one on to the pan.

I will be getting ready to wrestle the oil pan off as well since the rear main seal on my son's jeep is also leaking. Good luck!

I ended up getting the stud in and all bolts in. So far the oil pan has no leaks but I still have the leak toward the rear. The RMS I replaced seemed to be in great conditions and had RTV just like I had put when I replaced mine. I think I can rule out the RMS and Oil Pan Gasket being the culprit. Since I only have oil leaking on the transmission and no the oil pan yet I think I can rule out the oil filter adapter. So now I think I am down to valve cover or the transmission is leaking. I am going to figure out tonight if it is oil or ATF leaking then go from there.
