Oil Pan Gasket

[krazyblunts]

So I tried to get an oil change today and the guy said I have an oil leak. He also said it's the oil pan gasket. Which oil pan gasket do you guys recommend?

I doubt it's the oil pan gasket. They aren't commonly known for leaking.

It probably is the oil filter housing gasket leaking down and causing a mess. My oil filter gasket leaks and makes it look as if my oil pan gasket is weeping too.

Whatever gasket you decide to change, make sure it is from a well known brand. Victor Reinz is a commonly used one. If you do the oil filter housing instead, make sure you at least replace the o-rings on the bush (valve). They are 2 24x4mm o-rings.
