Bernd,
Ok, you have to explain this one to me. If the pan gasket is leaking, the
only effect is in the crankcase recirculation. The airway from the TB,
through the intake and heads, into the cylinders has not been compromised.
Everything is metering normally. How can a lean condition occur?

Correction to the 2nd answer. If the gasket is leaking enough, yes...you
will
lean out and start to "ping" under most throttle conditions.
