Your friendly local automotive salvage yard will probably sell you a good
used oil pan for about $25.  There is no need to buy new; they don't wear
out.

The oil pressure sending unit is approximately $35.  Check rockauto.com for
a precise price, but I'd be surprised if it cost more than that.

If you want to get dirty, changing these things is a pain in the ass, but
technically neither one is complex.  You will need a normal set of metric
sockets, a $20 pair of jackstands to support the front of the car, and a
large socket for the oil pressure sending unit that you can get for about
$10 at Sears.  (Use the new one as a gauge to determine what size you need
in the store.)

The oil pan is probably sealed with a sealant, rather than a cork/rubber
gasket.  You'd have to check with a dealer to be sure to get the right
stuff, but you're probably talking about a $5 tube of goo.

Total investment?  Under a hundred bucks and probably a Saturday.

That's what I would do.
