welcome to the show.
ummmm...................that question would be better suited in the tech section, not the New Member section.
if you already know where it's leaking from, why not just tell us? someone might have run into that same issue before.
but again, that's a question better suited in the proper section.

Knowing where the leak is would help a lot. Could be a cracked oil pan, bad gasket, damaged/loose drain plug, etc.

hahaha ok so i took a better look being that i am not really a mechanic though a mechanics daughter .. it is coming from the front of the motor.. my husband thinks its coming from the oil pan... in hi sopinion it looks like the oil pan is actually sitting on the front end EEK! which i hope is not correct.. however my daddy is going to come over this weekend and hopefully we will solve the problem without too much expense.. no cherry picker here.. wish me luck

If your 2000 is like my 2002; I had one front pan bolt loose and the other one missing. Seems to be a common problem. If all the pan bolts have fallen out, you are going to need 5/16" x 18 - 1.25" bolts.
Good luck. Could you send your "daddy" my way to fix the vibration problem my Blazer is having?
