Not a mechanic and have not experienced the issue myself with an f8X but my guess is it would be a slow leak for a while but something you would want to do eventually. Oil pan gasket is an issue I have heard others deal with on the platform so its not surprising.
I did have issues with the drain plug on my car and considered replacing the pan. It requires dropping the entire front subframe and will likely cost 3-5k or potentially more at a dealership from what I was quoted.
If the rest of the car is clean and its a good deal I would probably send it but I like to live dangerously. Hope that helps!
