I would use an engine hoist. If you don't have one, I'm sure someone on here would let you borrow one.

Jack the car up and support it by the front unibody mounts (not cradle) get a engine hoist and support the engine, drop the front subframe down and replace that gasket. Hope it's not the rear main.

Remove the trans inspection cover and see if the oil is comming from around the back of the crank.
