What is your question?
Sooo, my car is leaking oil. I noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago, and mentioned it to the workers when i went in to have a routine oil change. They stated there was no problem. After getting home today, i noticed a rather large puddle, and i think i may have a crack in my oil pan, or that it's possible i need to replace it entirely. What am i looking at ballpark if i do need to replace the entire oil pan? Thanks for taking the time to answer.

It should be relatively easy to determine if the oil pan is cracked or damaged. My labor guide says the oil pan is about $150 plus cost of oil, about 2 hour labor about .4 hour extra labor if the car has air conditioning.
You need to get it diagnosed correctly. There are many places for the oil to leak, and usually it ends up on the oil pan, since this is the lowest part of most engines. The shop might need to degrease/clean the engine from the oil and see where is it really coming from. Zee
