By the way, it's unlikely that your oil pan is bad; it probably just needs to be resealed. Sometimes they do rust out, or get cracked if you hit something in the road. I believe the oil pan on the Intrepids are all aluminum, though, so you're probably not looking at a rust issue. Be aware that a little seepage around the oil pan on an 8 year old car is normal, and unless it's really coming out at a high rate, I wouldn't bother fixing it.
