massive water leak

[Bootless]

Well i seem to of developed a massive water leak looks to be coming from the timing chain cover and since i already have all new gaskets for oil pan timing cover water pump and a new timing set i figured change them all but i really don't wanna pull the motor can i just drop my front axle what all would be involved in that?

You don't need to pull the engine or drop the axle for the timing cover or water pump work. For the oil pan, yea, that's a different beast. You can 'just' drop the axle but there's a fair amount of work involved (look at everything that connects it, that's all gotta be disconnected). Then you're still working on your back in tight quarters. A lot of people, including myself opted to remove the engine to do that work. Looking back, I'm glad I did.
