    I was going to suggest dropping the subframe, once you get in there you'll quickly realize that is the only way to gain any significant clearance.

    luckily its not a bad leak only maybe a couple drips a day, i tried even with a crows foot but still couldnt get anything to budge. besides i gotta figure out this stupid oil pressure light situation, praying to god that its only the sensor. now gotta figure out how to get to the sensor.

    Rip the AC compressor off, but you can do it from underneath. It sucks though.
