What do I do?
Oil pan gasket shouldn't be difficult or $$$ to replace.
Yup..
New gasket..
Edited out my tranny comments.. I was thinking wrong pan DOHH!

you might also try snugging up all the bolts equally. (Proper Torque is 96 ft in if you have a torque wrench). Spray it down with a cleaner and re check in a day. Also check fluid level and top up. correct procedure is on page 1328 of the workshop manual which you can download here.:yesy:
Don't know if it is just my eyes, but in that 3rd photo the oil pan looks cracked.
I don't think the gasket would go that bad overnight. It would take months to develop.
Just on the off chance, check the transmission oil cooler lines.

Check the gear selector. There is an "O" ring that goes bad. It takes a special tool "4L30 gear selector O-ring removal and installation too" do not try to replace it without that tool.

We have an oil pan gasket??? Mine had orange silicone on it as a gasket, manual said use silicone, and I used silicone for my "gasket"!
