Oil Pan Leaking!!!! Please help!!!

I have a 86 Iroc-z with a 5.0L 305. I have the "dual dipstick" set-up where there are two groves on the pan. (One on eachside). I need a gasket but cat find on any where. Where can I find one? And could the one side not being coverd be the reason im lossing all my oil in mins?

Try searching what kind of cars came with the duel dipstick for the motor you have and then head to a parts store. The other side being open would deff be the cause of oil lost. Try to plug the hole if you can. If you cant find a gasket now, try RTV that's oil resistant as a temporary solution.
