Cracked / stress fractures in oil pan?
I am replacing the oil pan gasket and got the oil pan removed today. While cleaning it I noticed what looks like stress fractures in the oil pan. I'm replacing the gasket as preventative maintenance but it does look like it was leaking very slightly from the gasket, but not from the pan itself. From the attached pictures, should I replace the oil pan completely? Are these types of fractures normal?

Normal. Just a result of the casting process.
