Does it really matter?
If it leaks replace it. If it doesn't leave her alone. Just my opinion.

Since it's leaking I would go ahead and change it. More then likely your not going to get anywhere with the po about it. Protect your investment and change it. Also when you do check the lip of the pan and make sure that it isn't bent. It is also possible that he did change it and either over tightened it or didn't tighten it enough. Are you positive that it is leaking from the oil pan? I know that if the o-rings go out on the oil filter adapter it can look like that it's coming from the RMS or oil pan.
