CC, that's a shame! I bought my Spyder 4-30-15 and noticed an oil leak, late 2020, early 2021. The clutch was slipping(my "fault"), so I took the car to a local Lotus shop to put on a Moroso oil pan, replace the clutch and find an electrical drain. They discovered the reason for the leak...someone in the previous ownership(I'm the "known 4th") tried to pry off the OEM pan, breaking the flange on the "bearing cap sub-assembly"..."they" used epoxy to "seal/fix" it, instead of welding...it's now welded.
I feel your pain, but suck it up and fix it, trust me, you'll be glad you did.
