Yes, the metal is quite thin. I'm in New Zealand and there are no new pans available in the 'obsolete parts' warehouse. The dealer has had to order one in from the Asia Pacific distribution centre in ... Singapore. We discussed the merits of fitting a secondhand one from a wrecker, but it's likely that it may have similar issues given the car's age; I don't want to fit, refill and discover another leak. False economy, and my driveway is getting sick of drinking ATF!
