if it's the sump, then you'll not need to remove the engine normally, drain the oil, remove the bolts and renew the gasket ( no more than £10 or so) and then re-assemble and refill, it's important to make sure all traces of the old gasket are removed and both surfaces are clean before fitting the new one, but an easy job to do.

Cheers Mark.
