No oil leaks, and the right front side of the oil pan is dented in about 1/4". If there are no leaks, is this a big issue?

Sorry to hear it. I would patch the hole in belly pan if possible, or just replace with new or one from a wrecker. 1/4" dent should not matter unless it affects the oil sump at bottom or the drain plug. Is it just a 1/4" spot that's dented or a large section that's 1/4" deep?

it is about a 3"x5" square section, dented in about 1/4".
Thanks for you reply, I've order a new pan, and I'm having the bumper repaired.
I'll be keeping an eye on oil pan, to make sure no leaks develope.

Just checked everything out.
Seems ok. Very small "crush", front section of pan. It slopes down in that area anyway, and it appears from drawings that there is not anything in that part of the pan. All lines, hoses, suspension were intact. Front bumper is shagged.
Amazing hit, and amazing still that nothing else was damaged.
