Get a repair kit and remember the drain plug only needs 15 foot pounds of toruqe. To many people tighten a drain plug like a gorilla because they think the drain plug might loosen andthey will loose their oil while riding. It is not going to happen. The drian plug is not a stressed bolt holding parts on.
Give it 15 foot pounds Vasili, only 15 foot pounds please.
I have had oil change shops tighten the drain plug so tight I almost could not get them undone. I no longer let shops change my oil with the exception of my Mazda that has an oil change contract but when that contract runs out I will be the one changing the oil in it as well. I just hope the shop does not screw up the drain plug and threads on it first.

I'm with RedVic. Do it right and repair your scoot, then you never have to worry about it. Here's your huckleberry:

If you don't want to do it yourself, I can't imagine your dealer or other motorcycle shop charging you any more than an hour labor to do the repair.

That is the route I would go. That way it is done right and you don't have to worry about any more.

Kind of surprised WitchDoctors, Lloydz or somebody else hasn't come up with a replacement drain pan. Not exactly precision metal worksuch cams or the like.

That would be hard to do because it is the engine case not a simple bolt on pan.

Question about making sure it won't leak at the repair - would using white teflon pipe tape on the threads of the repair bolt be a good idea to ensure a good oil tight seal? I imagine it may be slightly tapered. Having asked this, I can see the possibility of the drain bolt bringing out the repair bolt with it!
