id not touch a pan unless the engine is upside down on the garage floor.
unless i knew it leaked for sure, and most don't , in almost every case of suspicion, it's not the pan.
almost all other leaks, cause the pan to seem to leak, and is not. almost all.
VC leak, filter leaks, cracked oil sender. , cam leak, front crank seal.
some guys flush it, the fill with oil, run engine, for say 15minutes (using onsale cheap oil 10w-30 from walfart? brand ???) and then new oil. Say mobil 1.
depends hon ow much engine is worth to you. some nothing others, cant even find a core in 1000 miles.
for sure gasket head scrapings are a serious invasive procedure... if ever there was. one...
