I've heard of an Oil Filter.

I've heard of an Oil Pan.

...but never an Oil Filter Pan.

It is probably the oil pan gasket like I suggested in your other thread. It's not very hard to replace... it's about as easy as changing brake rotors

twin3037, can you find out exactly what the dealer said was leaking, and if he did indeed say "oil filter pan"?

If it's the oil pan gasket, a monkey could change it. No problem.


If it's the O-ring on the oil filter... well, that speaks for itself.
