I'll tell you the easiest way to fix your oil pan. Give a guy a call in Northern Georgia and take weekend vacation. From the pictures I have seen, its beautiful there year round, his mama has rental cabins, and he is very comfortable lifting, pulling, painting, and working on 1000# diesel engines. He goes by SkySkiJason.
I had to pull my oil pan last summer. The route I took was removing the transmission, turbo, loosing motor mount bolts, and then lifting the engine high enough to remove the oil pan. If I had to do it over, I would lift the cab enough to pull the pan, but selling as is would be a real close second option. I have no means of pulling an engine and it was one of those deals that has to be done right now. Afterwards though I had a slight leak in the very front of the pan at high idle, but a good cleaning with denatured alcohol and a rubber silicone sealant and I'm still leak free.
Extra Note: I used the sealant from the dealership, but did not get enough at the front of the pan. That's why it leaked.

Lol. You aren’t wrong! But, I’m overbooked for the foreseeable future. It’s hard to get on the schedule here!
