Default oil leaks!

My 93 EX coupe is hemeraging oil from the rear main seal and oil pan gasket. Is there any way to fix these seals without dropping the engine? Some of the oil pan bolts are wedged and unaccesable. Any suggestions? If not, who can do the work cheapest and what other mods should be performed at the same time?

Are there any other seals I might be forgeting that can be replaced easily (with engine in car) such as the distributor o-ring?

rear main seal? Are you just trying to replace the oil pan gasket? Usually you have to unbolt the manifold to make it easier. And whatever else is blocking your way. Its not hard just time consuming.

Both are leaking but the oil pan I should be able to do. I first tried with the ex manifold off. Several bolts are obstructed by what I think is the flywheel housing. I'll try to pm a picture.

Umm, yes. Drop the lower part of the xh manifold. Remove the flywheel cover, i think two of the nuts of the oil pan hold on the cover. The rear main, drop the trans
