1996 mustang gt. oil Pan leak?

my oil pan started leaking a it gets worse ever day and i found out the gasket on it had gon bad and needs to be replace and i whant to know how mutch a shop would pay to change it out1996 mustang gt. oil Pan leak?
1 HOUR LABOR AND COST OF THE GASKET. THIS IS EASY ENOUGH TO DO YOURSELF SO SAVE SOME MONEY AND DRAIN IT BEFORE YOU DO IT!!!1996 mustang gt. oil Pan leak?
It would cost approximately, $100 at our dealership to


replace the oil pan gasket and to refill it with oil. You can


do this job yourself for about $20, if you can get under your


car. Drain the oil, remove the oil pan bolts. Clean the old


gasket material from the matting flanges. Apply a small


bead of silicon to the new gasket to hold it onto the pan and


install it onto the matting flange. Install all the bolts finger


tight. Starting with the upper right bolt, snug it until tight,


then 1 full turn if you do not have a torque wrench. Do this in


a Criss-cross motion until all the bolts are tightened, meaning


the next bolt should be the lower left one, then the lower right


and the upper left, etc. Do not over tighten!
Motors manual calls for 2.5 hours, that plus the oil/filter/gasket should get by with around 200 bucks.
