No way to tell without looking at it and taking measurements.
It may be cheaper to replace the doors than to spend the time on repairs.

Most likely you just need to replace the Oil pan seal. A dent normally doesn't cause a leak. If the pan is cracked then yea, you will have to replace the pan. If it is leaking around the seal area it may have been knocked loose when you hit what ever dented your pan to begin with.

I'm not sure the year and make of this car, but if its a newrer buick then its not to hrad to replace the oil pan, jack the front of car up and support it with jack stands, then remove the oil from pan. remove the bolts holding the pan, pan should drop down, you may have to tilt back and wiggle out, also you may have to drop the pump or pickup screen depending on how much room is needed to remove the pan.

if the oil pan is dented up to where it touches the oil pump the engine is not getting oil rockers are clacking . every time you start the engine you are damaging the bearings if they are not already gone you need to fix it right away drop the pan and bang out the dent with a hammer hope this helps

oil pan will need to be removed.a small dent could be hammered out from inside,if its cracked,welding is a possibility,but care must be given to maintain correct alignment at gasket surface to avoid leaks.
a replacement pan might be available after-market,or from an auto recycler [junkyard] .specifics of engine displacement & application will be required to order matching part.

try pulling the dent out with a toilet plunger , .... wet both the outside of the door and the plunger cup, whack it onto the middle of the dent and give a hard pull, .... repeat if necessary, .... let us know how it works out thx

you have to take the whole bumper off and the bolt the u see holding it on the re-bar and bumper cover should come off

From your information it sounds like the water pump is bad. The coolant is running down the engine and dripping off of the oil pan.

You can try JB Weld after you get it off. I would not try any chances with an oil pan. If that oil pan pours out all of your oil going down the road you will ruin your engine. If it is cheaper to get it welded you can try that. I can't comment on removing that oil pan. You should be able to jack it up and look at it. If there is nothing in the way that you have to remove like a cross member, it should be a piece of cake. Best thing to do is to buy a manual for that can and decide for yourself it it will be easy for you to do. I am a Chevrolet person myself. I am not up on everything in every new car. I usually buy a book on every car that I get or work on. Sometimes something looks very simple and it turns out to be a big headache. I do not know what year your car is or how the motor sits in it. You could call a garage to be on the safe side. I can not make a call when I can not see it myself. I gave you the answer as to what I would do. Be careful not to strip out the bolts going back on. When you take it off you will be able to see the bottom side of your engine. If it is old you might want to think about doing anything that you can reach like changing the oil pump. Just some advice while you have everything at reach.

Do not take any chances on that oil pan. Good luck. Rate this as a Fixya if this solves your problem.
