i have my 1976 300D benz. just recently, i hit a hard protruded object along a rough road. it damaged my lower oil pan. there was an oil leak near the drain plug but surely not the drain plug. i have to repair the lower oil pan. i browsed over the maintenance manual site and it seems that the procedure needs to remove the whole crankcase to repair the lower oil pan. i just dont know if i could possibly just remove the lower oil pan without the crankcase for repair. is it possible?
