Hi, i have a fantastic 2001 318Ti, it has a slow oil leak from the sump. I have had a good look under the car and can attach photos. I definitely have a slow oil leak from the sump and am pretty sure it need a new gasket.

How do i remove the sump? I can't just undo the bolts and remove it. There is a structural sub frame cross member in the way.

Do i need to raise the motor? or drop the sub frame cross member, or is there an even easier way. It can't be that hard???

Any thoughts ideas or clues which would help will be gratefully received.
