Default Oilpan questions!

So, whenever i installed the cam a few months back its aloud me to acquire a new oil leak that i didnt have prior to the came. i didnt drop the pan for the cam install because shbox said that it wasnt necessary. So now i have a crap load of RTV on the front-bottom of my timing chain to help prevent the leak. I also procured some of the "stop-leak" which i think has slowed down the leak issue. But anyways, im here at college now and may have my parents just take the car to a shop i trust ( I CANT STAND PEOPLE TOUCHING MY CAR) to replace the whole oilpan seal. Should i go ahead and buy a moroso or canton oil pan and have them install it?

I wont be home for a few weeks and i dont wanna spend all of fall break working on the car. So thats why ima have someone else do. Luckly i've earned some money while at college that would pay for this

-Chris

P.S: How much would a shop charge to swap out the oil pan?

My 1 piece fel-pro is working great. Long as you torque the pan right you should have no problems. 15 ft/lbs on the corners and 10lbs in the middle.
