How hard is it to change the oilpan gasket? Do you need to lift the engine up or can you do it while it's inside? If it's too hard to do it myself how expensive is it to have the valve covers, timing cover, and oil pan re-sealed?

I feel stupid! My car leaked alittle oil before but this was POWER STEARING FLUID! Looks like a little plastic ribbed thing that covers some wires was rubbing against a metal fluid line to the stearing rack and cracked it... A 30 dollar fluid line
