You might want to consider doing a power wash on the engine as a way of getting it clean enough to see where the leak is actually coming from. If you decide to pull the pan, you might be able to pound out the dent if it's not too bad. Of course a new pan would be a lot easier. The leak might be coming from the front seal, or even the valve cover and just running down and making it look like the pan. I'd get it cleaned up and diagnosed before tearing into the pan. If it's not leaking, you run the risk of changing the gasket and not getting it sealed properly and introducing another leak.
