Oil Leaking Problem

My Nissan maxima has oil leaking problem. It looks like I need replace the oil pan gasket. How much do your guy think it will cost me?

Thanks

it may not be the oil pan gasket. It may be the crank or main seal. spray it down with brakleen or carb cleaner and get the oil oil res off of the area. start it up and drive it for a few miles, and look at it again. youll be able to see better where the leak may be coming from.
