1998 Dodge Caravan SE - Rusty Oil Pan

[Andy P]

I looked under my 1998 Dodge Caravan SE today and saw the front side
of the oil pan to be very rusty, flaking pretty good and know I need
to get it changed. Has this been a problem for 1998's? What an
estimated cost on having it replaced?

Thanks,

I believe it's a problem only on the Mitsubishi 3.0 engine.

Thanks James. I do live in the Saltbelt (New York state). Any idea
cost with labor to replace the oil pan?
