Default HELP!!!! 1996 Lumina 3.1 Timing Cover leak - Do I need to remove oil pan

I have a coolant leak on my 1996 Chevy Lumina 3.1 from my timing cover

Big question is whether or not I will need to remove the oil pan. From my research it depends on year but want to confirm from people that have actually done it. My manual says I have to remove oil pan.

Just looking for confirmation or not. If not I will dive into it myself. If i have to pull the pan I will pay to have it done.

Have you tried any Alumaseal yet? That stuff hasn't been on the market since as far back as I can remember for nothing.

It may not work, but its not expensive either.

Has any coolant reached your motor oil at all?
