Alright, so my oil pan is leaking like a fountain and dripping right onto the exhaust so it's embarrasing to drive it anywhere because it looks like a chimney. Anyways...I need an oil pan gasket and i don't want a cork one because I don't think they seal up as good as the rubber ones. Any suggestions as to where I can get one besides the dealer?

you may be able to find an auto parts store that sells the sheets of heat resistant rubber so you could make your own.. just a thought...

It doesn't have gasket.
Toyota use seal packing.
You can get one from any dealer for like $5-$6 a tube.
Part # 08826-00080
Don't use any rubber or cork gasket, the pan has groove on the lip for the silicone.

I bought a cork gasket as a last resort. My intentions were to use that with the sealer as well. Should I still use both or would the sealer be better and seal longer?

I would take ST185's advice. if Toyota uses a sealer, thats the way to go.
My oil pan(s) on all my Toyotas do not leak. So I have never had to mess with them.I would go OEM method.

Just use Black RTV you can get it at the dealer or any parts store. Toyota does not use gaskets on the oil pans. Pull the pan scrape all of the old sealant off both the pan and block then put a bead all the way around the pan, put it back on and torque the bolts to spec. You will be good to go for many more miles as long as you do it right.
