I just discovered an engine oil leak at the oil pan rear mating surface, so I need to replace the pan gasket.

I have searched around the net but curiously find nothing, which makes me wonder whether anyone has replaced this gasket. Has anyone done this before?

Any and all comments would be appreciated.
