So my oil pan is now leaking and i called up mazda and they want $195, Partsource in canada wants only $99. The problem is they dont have a mx3 version but they do have a 96 for probe v6 one. Will that fit my car? Its either that or I go to the wreckers and pay$75 for used and said there will be rust on it. Need help on the probe oil pan

Take your oil pan off, wash it with varsol (paint thinner) then soap and water then alcohol to finish the job. Buy a two part epoxy and after sand blasting (cleaning all the rust off somehow) apply the epoxy. Give it two coats on the outside. You can use a heat lamp or a trouble light to warm the pan and that will assist in the curing. Reinstall the pan.
You can actually form some steel over the holes if its a flat section and place that over the wet epoxy then after curing, epoxy over the steel patch as well.
