If it is leaking oil excessively you probably shouldn't. If the leaking oil was to reach the catalytic converter the oil could catch fire. Not to mention that everywhere you park you will leave a mess and you will be adding oil constantly to the engine.
if oil leaks from it! have a look on the floor area if it's leaking there will be a stain.
yes if its leaking or if u replace the oil pan

it could be leaking from some were above and its driping on the pan causing it to look like its leaking from the pan or if you over tourk the bolts it will warp the pan causing it to leak
