Oil pan

my oil pan is screwed.. When i got the car when you parked front facing uphill at all the oil pan leaked from the back. I have just avoided parking on hills. I went shooting up in the mountains a week ago and was turning around and found two perfect holes where my tires dipped in and smacked my oil pan on a rock. I'm going to fix the hole that the rock caused because its leaking a bit of oil, but how do i get to the bolts in the back of the pan i know they are loose because the ones i could access were loose enough to tighten by hand so that should fix the other problem. I just need to know how to get to those damned bolts!

Any information will help thanks guys

unfortunately im not a 100% sure but i also have a similar problem my oil pan had a whole in it i welded it **** and im guessing that my bolts are loose to, the bolts are located right above the catalytic converter on the right of the oxygen sensor but i doubt thats your only problem for a leak you could have blown the gasket for the pan and also check the seal if its broken it can shoot out of their when the car is on! GOOD LUCK!
