Fixing a damaged oil pan

[quote=“LAFENGAS,post:5,topic:28113"”]

to suggest something different. Drain the pan, maybe put a dab of silicon gasket sealer after cleaning the surface.

Give it some time to set up before refilling the oil. In theory it would work, but i can’t verify since in never actually tried.

not a bad idea, but for a permanent fix though? i’m not so sure.

i’m going to have to go on the JB weld side of things.
take the pan off
clean it real nice
put the JB weld on
let it really dry
sand it down a bit so it’s smooth
paint the entire pan

no one will ever notice your “brand new” oil pan
