Default I need to replace my oil pan.

It's dented and looks like it's seeping oil from the drain plug. Is this what I can use?

I just want an exactly like stock, just bolt it back up with a new gasket and plug, work fine no troubles oil pan replacement. so^ ?

Also how hard is this going to be? It looks like a bitch. but i was also tired and laying under it with a foot of room at best. Any pointers?

I don't think that is an ls1 oil pan. Can you just replace the oil plug or wrap
some teflon tape around it. I think repacing the oil pan involves jacking the
engine and that pan is not cheap.

Need the lt1 But this is a good idea regardless, thanks. The plug is cheap so if that doesn't work oh well. I'll try to get a pic i think the dent runs to where the plug starts and that actually caused the leak.
