RE: simple oil pan question
What did you have done? and what do you mean .. "a gasket on the outside of it" there is a gasket between the pan and the block... and your drain plugs should have gaskets as well...
where is it leaking from... front, back, side.... tail pipe... lol

I took it to mean that some ape had placed the pan directly onto the block, layed the gasket around the edges of the pan, and then bolted it all down. LOL. That would be sad.

Well Kadence, there is a metal support that runs down the outside fo the bolt surface of the pan. it equalizes pressure across the entire surface instead of just where the bolts are.

RE: simple oil pan question
I bet it's the metal bracing that acts like a washer. You do have a problem though if it is leaking that bad. I wonder if they only removed one of your two drain plugs when they drained the oil. If they did and added 5 quarts of oil that could blow out a gasket or seal.
