Well I drained it again, tried the teflon tape and still no luck. At this point I'm going to make some phone calls and see what it would cost to have the lower oil pan replaced, might have someone take a look and tell me if there are other/cheaper options.

I priced it out online and I can get a new lower pan for about $127, plus $10 for a new lower gasket, do I also need the upper gasket if I decide to do this myself. Here is a link:

Can you guys tell me if i need both the uper and lower gaskets or just the lower.

I think I would replace all of the nuts as well which is probably another 10 bucks, as well as a new plug.

I took a look and the lower would be pretty easy to do but it would probably take me a half day of swearing and I might put it off until the spring, unless I can get a good deal from someone to do it for me.
