Are you sure it is the oil pan that is leaking? It could be the rear main seal or the oil drain plug that is leaking. Of course, the oil drain plug is easy to fix, you can get a rubber washer to go in between the plug and the oil pan to prevent leaking. The rear main seal is even more difficult to fix than the oil pan gasket. Just offering up alternative possibilities.

1972 cutlass 350 timing cover removal
Hello again
I was reading my orginal shop manual for my car seein if I want to change the front cover gasket cause it leaks a little after repairing a broken bolt in the front cover. The manual says to remove oil pan then remove front cover? Really? Is that for real or can the timing cover come off without removing the oil pan?
