I have a 1996 Impreza with a leaky oil pan or as an earlier post said the "baffle plate" or "oil seperator plate" leaks on the back of these engines. I am just wondering if the engine is just sitting there on blocks and still leaking oil would that eliminate baffle plate, head gasket etc? I am not very mechanical and will probably have the shop do since the engine has to be lifted to fix the oil pan or perhaps all of the above. Already had the engine + transmission overhauled and at the end my economic sanity for going much further. any advice would be welcome
