More than likely unbolting the motor mounts and raising the engine will have to be done . I assume either the oil pan gasket is leaking or the pan is rusted ? Proper torque is important when reinstalling along with an organized torque sequence .

I replaced the oil pan in my 1991 F150. I had to raise the engine about 3 inches so I could get the pan out and over the cross beam under it. Plan on spending a few hours under the truck.

Yeah , its the friggin road salt . It must be the type of metal Ford used in the oil pans that make them really susceptble to road salt ? What you might want to do before next winter is coat the oil pan with grease to help keep the effects of the road salt to a minimum .
