Michel has a very thick French accent. If you know French, it would be helpful. Otherwise, it might be helpful to email him in French using some translation tool. Also, he takes a long winter break, that I suspect he is still in, but I suspect he will still answer his email.

Are you after an original steel oil pan?  Or, an aftermarket aluminium one?

I have a used steel one that you would be welcome to.  Banks and Meca have the aluminium ones listed on their websites.  Careful with the Meca listings as a high capacity one will hang too low.

Steel is the lightest and is easy to repair.  Aluminium has a "somewhat" better rate of heat transfer for a (very) modest cooling effect.  It is common for the aluminium oil pans to be porous.  Before you fit a new one, get it extra-thick, powder coated.  That will seal it up.

Didn't follow my advice and now it's leaking?  You have to boil the oil out of it in special cleaners before you can successfully seal it.  Good powder coating places will know what to do.
