Are you sure it's the oil pan that's bad and not just the gasket or something? how was it sealed?

Don't ever buy a new oil pan. You can find oil pans in great shape for just a few dollars in the 2nd gen for sale section. Someone might even give you one if you pay shipping.

But first, get under the car and remove the under tray. Where is the leak coming from?
