yep just what the title says I just got done doing a complete engine and talk about a pain finally got everything in and running timming was a issue and so i finally got it going walked in to tell the wife her POS was done walked back out and oil leak from hell.
So my question is how hard is it to drop a oil pan on a 2000 blazer 4by4 oil leaks coming out by the timing chain cover.

 

im not going to sugar coat this for you but its no fun i was told you can do it with out lifting the engine up but i have yet to see how when i did the sas on my 2000 blazer i ended up cutting that crossmember out so now i can do the job with out any issues but you are going to have to lift the motor if not remove it completely good luck

 

Easiest way is to pull the engine.

Buy the time you remove all the front diff and jack the engine up enough to get the pan out its less work to pull it out the top.
