[misnomer]

Not as likely. The oil pan gasket isn't under any pressure, it isn't as likely to leak oil as those components which are.

Now, if you are hearing oil gushing out. . . Something REALLY isn't right. You need to get back under the car, find out exactly where your leak is, and then look for the fix. I am leaning towards filter or drain plug as well. Of course, given none of us can see the car, we have to play with the information you feed us :-)
