In my GMC Maintenance Manual, the procedure for changing the rear main seal does not include this step.
Got under there again between rain storms and it looks like I'm missing a few bolts to hold the oil pan on. Whatever the PO used to seal it seems to be holding it in place well enough.

Still wondering if anyone can confirm whether I'll be able to drop the pan straight away or if I need to loosen the motor mounts and jack up the engine. Maybe this is a dumb question, I just want to be prepared before diving into that.
