*sigh* oil pan...

Cracked the oil pan on a speed bump today. (actually just an hour ago, so tonight). Wasn't going fast, it was on campus in a slow area... but I didn't know it was there, it's relatively new and I'm not back there much... so while I wasn't flying I wasn't down to speed bump speed either. For some reason it made it all the way out to the Parkway before it lost most of the oil... guess it was circulating and not resting at the crack... I don't know. I never drove it without oil in the block and I never drove it with no oil pressure. So no damage except to the pan. Trailering it home for the repair tomorrow.

Crack isn't at the seam of the pan, it's actually up on the face of the pan, maybe a quarter or a half of an inch above the bottom, on the front face, about an inch or an inch and a half long.

My question is... I pulled up the parts in the "buy parts" link here. There's two gaskets listed. Do I need both of them? One of them? I have no idea.

*sigh* - I really do TRY to be responsible.
