    it is an engine pull job, you could drop the crossmember adn do it all from underneath if u have a hoist. but if it was me i would pull the motor and see if there is anything else that needs to be done at the same time

    I dunno man I think this is clearly your fault, if you didn't drive it it wouldn't be leaking...

    id suggest getting those manifolds faced too, Brad put new gaskets on them so unless he broke a gasket when fitting , the manifolds could be warped

    Well technically if it's number 6, then its passenger side bank, and it can be done engine in. Exhaust manifolds gaskets "usually" blow from a poor seat or a faulty or pinched gasket, either that or your EGTs are WAY to high and in that case your engine would be fried, but lets not get carried away. :D Anyway, the point there is that you shouldn't need to do the drivers side as well...
