Don't go atta?king it with an air chisel! You will end up damaging the pan or the bottom of the block and you will have oil leak problems. There are usually 2 bolts at the front of the pan . You will possibly have to remove the harmonic balancer to get to them. (The front pulley) Once you have made sure ALL the bolts are out, carefully prise the pan off with a wide bladed chisel.

Absolutely. It is on the very bottom of the vehicle. It will have about 16 bolts holding it on . Do not mistake the transmission fluid pan for the oil pan though. You will have to jack up the car and use jack stands to get to it though. DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT JACK STANDS

From what I have researched the core runs 50 - 60 USD. It appears that accessing the core is not as difficult on this model as some others, and I would estimate that a shop would charge about 2-3 hours labor to do it. You would also have the cost of replacement coolant as well and possibly new hose clamps depending on the condition of the existing ones. If you are moderately capable, it is a job that can be done DIY and there are a few Google links explaining step-by-step how to do it. A shop (US) current charges 70-100 USD per hour for labor, so you can do the math.

You should tell your garage, (make sure you get recommendations for a good one,) about the problem before they embark on the work.

Should be under dash on drivers side. It looks more like a relay than a flasher. Hope this helps
