You'll need to remove the bolts on the motor mounts and jack up the front of the engine to get enough clearance to get the pan clear once all the pan bolts are removed.

SOURCE: chevrolet cavalier 2001 cooling get into oil pan

you have a blown head gasket. did it overheat recently? letting the coolant go low will cause this to happen quickly. you need to fix this or the water will cause the oil to be unable to protect bearings and they will be damaged. then u need a new engine. good luck

You need a test light if you are not getting any spark your start is power at the primary part of the coil then you will need to check for pulse at the negative of the coil, you have a connection problem here is the most famous failure the coil connection has a tendency to spread and not make contact have someone crank the vehicle and you wiggle the coil connection see if that help other than that you need a test light your problem is in the wire

you may be getting fuel but you are starving the cylinders from it. after sitting this long, i would replace the injectors because they will corode inside after 7 years. agood injector cleaner might work but they are probably too far gone. you might have sent a lot of corosion from the fuel tank the first time you ran it & that will add to total shut down of the fuel injectors. also check your oil pressure, or it may jump on timing due to stiff cam bearings. depending on klts, it would be good to use slightly heavier oil grade. you may also want to check your ignition coil for proper supply to plugs. bin there, dun that.

Do you need to torque oil pan bolts?
Engine oil pan bolts range in torque from seven foot-pounds to 22 ft-lb or more for large engines with heavier pans and bolts. Once you've torqued the bolts and filled the engine with oil, you should run the engine for five minutes to bring it up to normal operating temperature.

check the pcv valve as they will gum up if the oil has not been changed regularly. I would also check all vacuum hoses for cracks or breaks

My 58 Chevy 348 engine is holding oil in the upper part of the engine I've checked the oil before starting and it is full but after approx. 2 min. running the oil pressure is gone. I check the oil again...

Try using high pressure air to blow out oil returns. The engine may have sludge build up due to foreign material sticking in oil drains from a 52 year old chevy. Love that engine. It was good in it's day! Good luck!

2004 Chevy Cavalier Oil leak

Replacing an oil pan gasket on a car shouldn't be too difficult for you, say, about an hour or two. As long as you follow some simple guidelines, the leak should be eliminated. Improper tightening or seating of the gasket material can defeat the purpose of your work. Grab a Haynes manual, or a tech guide for your vehicle, and have it handy.

I would suggest tracking the oil leak to ensure that it's not your front seal on your crankshaft. The amount of oil that you describe sounds like a bit much for an undisturbed oil pan gasket.

Oil pump

If it's a 2wd model, remove the engine mount bolts and raise engine enough so you can put a 4x4 between the engine and frame mounts. Remove the oil pan and unbolt the oil pump and drop right out. If it's 4wd, you'll have to remove the engine and basically do the same thing.
