I too thought at one point I had a lower oil pan leak, until I cleaned everything off really well with brake cleaner than reevaluted. Come to find out, it was the o ring that goes around the engine oil dipstick tube that sits down in the engine. making it look like a lower oil pan leak.

Depending where you go, $100-150 plus parts. I believe the 430 too uses a FIPG gasket which is a biitch to take off. Dealer... Probably $200+
