+1

where exactly on the block is it from?

are you changing pans, or pan gaskets?

is the drain plug tightened to spec?

if its coming down from the very back, or very front of the engine, its more likely you have a bad rear main/front main seal leak than an oil pan leak.

be more specific with the prob, and we see what we can do.

Sounds like you may be having a leak from somewhere other than the oil pan. Have you tried cleaning up the whole motor, running it around the block a few times, and then throughly inspect the motor from bottom to top to find if you have any other leaks.

+1 but make sure before getting under a raised car that you stand are secure and or jack. i usually do it like this if i raise the front i chock the rear wheel with a block of wood or brick, always have on my emergency brake as habit uasually have it in gear (i know iknow the front is off the ground) when it is lowered on stands i still jack the jack up to the frame as still another precaution. sometimes can't be too safe.
