Cheater you're not supposed to actually listen to the Service Manual

Does it leak though or is everything sealed up tight? Sometimes even if an oil pan gasket doesn't leak at low RPMs when the engine is idling it can begin to leak when the RPMs go on the rise and cause the oil in the pan to start moving more significantly. Something to verify before taking your mind off the subject.

the gasket came off in 4 pieces, it was leaking the worst at the front, i realized it was toast when i drove it for 10 minutes and my truck was smoking, i looked underneath and everything was covered in oil, engine, tranny, diff and exhaust were covered. this is when i seen it coming out the front, i lost about 3 liters of oil in the 10 minute drive. i replaced the gasket and drove the truck on a 2 1/2 hour trip, its dry and lost no oil.
