So I think the place I had my car worked on last year put in the wrong sized drain plugs and it looks like it caused the outside portion of the oil pan to separate from the inside portion (the below image hopefully shows that well enough). I'm thinking it went through the softer outside and then pushed back the inside portion so that they separated. It looks even worse after I spent time trying to screw in an oversized bolt that refused to fit. This is the upper drain plug FYI.
Any ideas if/how I could fix this or do I just need to replace the oil pan? I don't know exactly what the pan looks like from the inside but I think even if I got something to screw in, the large gap that is now there would cause leaks around the plug / bolt.
