Default Decent place to get oil pan gasket replaced

I've got a 99 Z and the oil pan gasket is leaking at the rear passenger side near the starter bolt. Motor's never been opened up and never messed w/ the pan, there is a little bit of gasket flaking/tearing out in that area, i figured it was the sensor in the block behind the starter or the level sensor but no such luck.

How much should it cost to have the pan dropped? Prefer somewhere on the SW side of town.

drain the oil, drop the pan, and put a new gasket in from oreillys?

a way to support the motor while the k member is lowered

How much is it leaking? If you want a temporary fix and dont want to spend cash you might be able to just apply some gasket maker permatex stuff around the leak after you clean it up.
or, if you have the money and want to do it right, call LMR
