What the F@#& was chevy thinking?

Ok so I had a customer come in yesterday for an oil change in his 00 Cadi DTS 4.6 Northsatr. Well I saw a bit of an oil pan gasket leak that needed attention and I have never had a customer say OK fix it before on this particular engine. So I look up the time and procedure on my Alldata and it's 12 hours and step 2 in the process is remove drivetrain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here we are 6 hours later:

How bad was the leak??? I would have let it leak let me see not sure how much you charge per hoour but up here in GB they get approx. $95.00 per hour sooooo 95 x12=$1140.00 just in labor??? WOW glad I dont have a Caddy. good luck putting THAT back together, your a great mechanic to take that one on...
