Might just need new gaskets. If you need an oil pan, you can get them almost anywhere, be it used from a scrap yard or brand new from almost any parts store.

I just bought a brand new one off ebay for $40.

There is an oil level sensor located on the side of the oil pan which also has its own gasket. The sensor is located on the drivers side of the pan. Did you check if it is leaking through there? Mine was. I just replaced the gasket when I had my oil changed and leak was gone. This might help!

Good point that is pretty common place for leaks. Mine did the same thing.

I had the same problem on 2 stangs and a 302 tbird and all 3 times, it was the same thing: blowby causing internal pressure squeezing the oil out past the seals.

Unscrew the oil filler neck cap (and cover it so crap doesnt fall in..I recommend a dryer sheet and a rubber band) and see if the drip rate does not greatly decrease.

Dont replace the pan, RTV it!! RTV is da ish!! =P

Just drain the oil and paper towel the oil away from the seam and squeeze RTV all around the pan->block seam. Cause dropping a pan is no fun at all but squeezing some rtv is a quick easy fix.
