got to remove the exhaust.

beware - this is a non-trivial exercise. the bolts on the exhaust
manifold are frequently hard to get off, and if they don't strip [which
is also likely] harder to get back on. seriously, unless there is a
real leak, and it doesn't disappear after a week or two with a decent
oil with seal conditioners like castrol, you're /much/ better off just
re-snugging the bolts onto the existing gasket. don't over-tighten
though because then you bend the pan metal and then it leaks worse.

also, look for leaks above that gasket as it may be running down from
another location.
