MorbidBBQ -> 95 Oil Leak x3 DIY need help. (10/27/2006 9:38:55 PM)

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. Here is my problem: Average guy putting himself though college, car starts leaking oil massively, guy tells me its gonna cost $900 to fix right after i spent $100 to fix an oil leak in a different area. its either car or rent $ for 3months, so bus for me it is. Here is what I have done so far:
Purchased and looked through Chilton's Repair Manual.
Brought it to the place the initial problem was fixed and they did a diagnostic.
The Results:
- Front Main Seal Blown
- Rear Main Seal Blown
- Oil Pan Gasket Blown
and i just had the valve cover gasket fixed 92days ago. (driven <1000 miles in 3 months)
As for my experience with cars. on a scale of 1-10. I rate myself a 1. The only things I have done myself have been oil changes and tire fixes.
I was told that the easiest way to do this is to take the engine out. What tools do I need for this? When putting everything back together, how do I measure the tightness it needs to be?
FYI: I have three friends who all have different knowledges about cars: one works on his own Saturn, the other his Honda, and the other just spends money for people to work on his Pontiac for him.
