Re: oil leak

no charge for the website... looks like some guy just decided to post the
repair procedure.  I found it on Google.  Its also neat that he showed the
difference between the old style and the newer beefed up style grommets.

From the description, you do need to remove the lower cover.  When I did
my
crank seal, we had that part of the engine stripped down in less than 30
minutes.  Once you remove all of that stuff, its easy to work in there.

When I have pesky issues like your oil leak, I always google for other
people
who have had the same problem as it is very probable that the problem is
common.
