[W124] 1991 300CE oil pan gasket leaking

[jeffreyt06 at comcast.net]

My 91 300CE, which I love, has a leaking oil pan gasket. I thought I was going to be "big tough man" and say screw you to the rip off MB dealer and do it myself. I bought the new gasket, and when I looked under the engine, it was very scary. Now I am stuck! One repair shop said they had to lift the engine out to change the oil pan gasket. Is this true? I was sure I could do this myself. Thanks for any info.
