oil drips (FML)
ive got some oil drips comin from my baby and im terrified that it might be coming from the oil pan...ive having some trouble locating the source, but it seems to be coming at least from just on the passenger side of the oil pan....just how horrible is the removal and replacement of the pan? are the oil braces worth it?

It could be a real pain if you are not mechanically inclined. On the oil pan braces they are supposed to help prevent leaks due to engine flexing. There are a few out there, but I have no personal experience with them.

In my opinion a leak is never good, but if it's not seeping out you should be fine. Just keep an eye on your levels.

I read it somewhere that OMP was once operational... I could be wrong.
