Oil leak..., oil pan maintenance help. Options

hey 6gc's owners. well i have a problem. Some kind of oil is leaking under my car a littler further up near the oil drain bolt. I did my oil change a month ago and while under the car, i noticed the area near my oil pan, the passenger cv boot were all greased up. I scan through the whole underneath of the car to the area i'm guessing it could be leaking from. I know it's not from the oil drain bolt cuz there weren't that much oil from there. but when i slide my finger across where the oil pan is screwed onto, where i'm guessing there should be a seal, it was pretty oily. So my question is that if anyone had remove the oil pan and place a new seal on their oil pan. if so, is it easy to do yourself, or do it require a lot of work. Need your guys help on this. or if there's another reason where the leak can be coming from. thanks for your time 6gc owners.

not too hard. when you take it off.. take time to clean the pan. a steel brush and plenty of blades will do the trick. Use Toyota RTV.. They don't dry instantly.. [only RTV we use.. ]

Consist of plenty of 10mm bolts
