I will.
The dealership was closed yesterday and the parts stores have a two day
order for the gasket.

Re: JGC oil leak help needed
 

Guys,

Just did that exact same repair yesterday. Kit was like $2.70 from a
dealer and I was able to do it in 30 minutes or so. I did it from under
the car.

I had cheap set of torx sockets from AutoZone. They are 1-piece sockets
and biggest one is T60.

After I placed socket into bolt I was able to get my craftsman 3/8
ratchet on it.

Actually, it went very easy. Loosen it with ratchet, then I got
visegrips on a socket(remember? cheap autozone sockets) and finished.
