Thumbs up 300SEL (or other M103 cars) oil pan gasket?

Has anyone ever had a problem with this leaking/seeping? The search came up with nothing so if this holds true, then there are hopefully no issues.

Just trying to see if I should go ahead and replace my front main now or later.

Thanks

HitMan, nope, my oil pan gasket is one of the few that has been totally dry for 18 years. Rear main is on it's 3rd seal, and the original front crank seal seems to be seeping just a tad. But, it's very minor.
I assume you have to pry/gouge the front cover off the front of the pan seal to get the front cover off?

A M103 front seal will fail long before the pan gasket.

I guess I could be #2, as I have not seen not one drip under my car.
