On a V8 it can be taken out..
On a 6 try tightening the sump bolts first ???
WE have found some very loose and leaking due to way too loose sump bolts....

You can replace the gasket without having to remove anything bar the sump. It gives you about 2 inches of room to play with, so not a huge amount, and so can be a bit fiddly, but could save you a bit of time in the process.

Yep just remove the sump guard and lower radiator hose and it should come out after removing sump bolts...
