Yes, you have to remove the steering linkage under the oil pan and the flywheel cover. Also I think you have to turn the engine so you have maximum clearance from the crankshaft. You should then be able to remove all the oil pan bolts and work out pan.
Remove the valve cover.....scrape off old gasket.....clean gasket surface on valve cover....apply gasket sealent to valve cover gasket surface.....set gasket in sealent.....reinstall valve cover.
Yes you can change it without pulling the motor out but its kinda rough. (I would not pay a dealer $870 change it). Another tip is don't used the quark gaskets that everyone will try to give you. Summit racing has a after market rubber gasket that works, trust me. Remember don't take a quark gasket.
its about as bad as pulling the motor undo the mounts hoses wiring anything that will get to tight and raise motor up enough to remove the pan to replace gasket
That's a little difficult to answer without knowing what kind of vehicle.
In a Corvette or any other car the mixing of the oil and water is a sign of a blown head gasket and or a cracked head.
Usually the O-ring gasket for the Distributor leaks on these engines..look at the base of the distributor.. it usually trickles from there. the fix is pretty easy. it is one o-ring gasket that can be replaced by pulling the distributor.

Yes! Remove whatever is necessary to allow you to remove the oil pan.
White smoke is coolant in the cylinders. Died and won't restart cause the spark plugs are shorted with coolant. If you keep trying to start it without fixing it you could bend a rod! Most likely it is a failed intake manifold gasket or intake plenum gasket or the intake plenum itself. Don't drive the car cause if it is the plenum leaking coolant into the engine it can fill a cylinder with coolant and do major damage when you try to start it. No way to know for sure which of the three it is without pulling the plenum. If you're pulling that you might as well change the intake manifold gasket too. Could be a bad head gasket
Loosen the motor mount bolts the long bolts through the center of the mount and take them out and jack up the engine and take off oil pan.
You can change the head gasket by removing the valve cover. Remove the gasket and clean the gasket surface. Put the new head gasket on the cleaned surface.
To change the oil pan gasket on a 1999 Chrysler Cirrus, disconnect the negative cable from the remote battery jumper. Then remove the oil drain plug to drain the oil pan. Next, remove the drive belt and exhaust cross-pipe. Remove the dipstick tube and the starter motor before pulling off the oil pan gasket.
yes you have to change the pan gasket when doing the timing chain
