You will likely need to buy the whole FSM, but you can get them from you Mazda dealer, no one has made a how-to that I know of. But if you do yours, it would be great if you made one

 

Ha. ill be lucky if i can do it to begin with. Im not sure when ill have time to do it either. I got the new pan, but i dont have access to a lift at all times. Im almost 2k past my oil change and on top of that the other day my battery died for the second time this year.... 90k miles and ive had so many problems. Im ready to buy a new car at this point. Once i fix EVERYTHING, im puttig it up for sale, i cant afford to keep fixing it.

 

Where is the leak in the pan?

 

The drain plug is stripped apparently as per oil change place. Which i don't see how its possible because i have that valve thingie, i forget what its called. And its leaking on the side facing the rear. I think its just the gasket, but why not replace the whole thing if its the plug that's stripped too.

 

Which manual do you need? I've provided what I believe is all the manuals to a few users lately.
