You need to take the fuel-regulator box, intake manifold and water-pump out to access the valley-pan gasket. (cause you need to remove the 2 coolant pipes running from WP to manifold in the back). I suggest rent a presurize cooling system pump and check first. I replace my valleypan gasket thinking it was leaking when actually the manifold gasket was the one leaking.
