I took off the side cover and it appears that I will have to take off the oil pan to access the bottom end.
Check Dave's post again- - - -the line DOES NOT enter the crankcase, so pulling the oil pan will accomplish nothing. The line travels through the water jacket on a downward angle and exits the block on the driver's side. It will be necessary to cut the line to remove it, and install a new line and fittings to prevent coolant leakage into the oil. The fittings on both sides of the block are one-time use items. Several of the parts vendors who advertise on this site sell a kit with all the bits and pieces necessary to change the line properly.
