If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

I like a thin skim coat on either side of the gasket and the rubber peices that go on the main bearing caps. Be sure to remove any dimpled bolt holes with a hammer and socket. The pan should be flat. Be sure your dip stick tube isnt leaking too. Very common in the eb oil pans.
