New Oil Pan

Has anyone ever had to change their oil pan before. I discovered a small leak a few days ago when I did an oil change. There is a small area of rust not far from the drain plug which I have noticed many times before, but at the time it was not leaking. Well I guess it got worse and it's now leaking very slowly. I called the dealership and they told a new oil pan is about $80 and the sealant is $15.

I think it should be fairly easy thing to change, but if anyone has any tips that might be helpful I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
