Leaking oil pan

So I have a oil leak in the back of my '68 442 400. The engine is brand new. How difficult is it to remove the pan? Will it slide out or do I need to lift the engine? Also what type of gasket should I use.

Thanks in advance

It's a pita to do it with the engine in the car. I would get under there and check the pan bolts and snug them down a little bit all the way around the pan. Also double check the valve covers for leaks.

Yep, I have done all that, this is where I'm at. Not the news I was looking for!
