Now,I have another question.Did any of you drop the front subframe to change the upper oil pan gasket?
In the DIY I see that there was a some sort of paper or alike material gasket,but I ordered and there's one steel gasket installed now.
Should I just clean it all well and use some gasket maker.It would be a nightmare too to try reaching all the perimeter without lowering the subframe that much.

What I did was clean the metal gasket really well with brake cleaner until it was completely dry, slightly pulled up on it without creasing it and dabbed this aircraft gasket sealant. I then dabbed some on the botton cam cover. It takes a while for it to actually dry so have plenty of time to get the bottom cover on. The sealant is a VersaChem prime seal type 3 aviation gasket sealant. Worked great for me.
