Try the parts forum - http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/forumdisplay.php?f=8

Also note your location so someone who otherwise wouldn't want to package an oil pan for shipping, I wouldn't, can help if they're close enough to you.

Can you post pictures of the damage?

Are you sure it can not be repaired?

lol, the easy way to change your oil! SMASH your oil pan to pieces, drive the car for a minute until you see your oil pressure drop to 0. Replace the oil pan! -_-

What did you hit it on / hit you?

I've often thought about toughening up that front engine bay belly cover... making it outta steel that could slide over something that would otherwise knock a pan like this.

You realize that failing to update this thread in the future could lead to some very serious consequences, right?

Question

That same road stain is posted in another MB site. How long did it take to toast the engine?
