If you're positive it's the oil pan gasket, you have to pull the engine up to drop the pan. Some people have been able to lift the engine a little bit and snake a new gasket in, but it's hard work nonetheless.

A rear main seal leak will make it look like the pan gasket is leaking. And you could
be burning the oil your loosing... rings / valves.

Clean it up, take it on a short trip then look again...

if it is the pan gasket, depending on how bad it is, i would try and get some high temp sealant and spread it liberally long the block/pan/gasket area. i did that on both sides of my engine in the past on different occasions to stop a leak and it held good for a long while.

it's a bandaid thats for sure, but it saves you pulling the engine.
