I was wondering if anyone knows of a way in which I could find out what is the exact pantone code for 18 percent grey?

Well 18% grey refers to a specific shade of the grey which would be used as a neutral benchmark to aid in setting correct WB. Pantone is a specific colour needed in print, so I think its really not necessary and using the correct colour space settings on your monitor and computer would be a lot better. Asking for 18% grey in pantone does not make a whole lot of sense really.
