2005 e83. I got an oil change and the guy said i would need to replace my oil pan because there was something wrong with the seal or plug. How do i tell what needs to be replaced before dropping a few grand

What is your question?

How long has your 2005 BMW X3 had this problem?

A couple months I presume. I've been noticing spots of oil but last person to work on the car "fixed" it
