Oil pan gasket. . .Big job or DIY
I am not sure over any of this, but I was told that if your Vitara is not 4x4 you simply drain oil, remove the fasteners, clean the pan and contact surfaces, get the new gasket in place, torque to spec and refill oil. BUT if it's 4x4 I was told the axle is in the waqy of the pan and it's not imposible but you gotta remove it or at least move it out of the way. Our pro folks will answer soon enough. ALSO while you are at it take care of the valve cover gasket, I'm sure it's dripping oil too. And I don't think you need special tools, maybe if the axle is to be moved but don't think so.
