I have a hole in my oil pan, Is there a such thing as a patch or a plug to temp. plug it up until I can afford

Answer 1

go to auto place grab JB weld expoxy trust me its works. pan most be cold and clean. need to dry about 12 hrs I would do it before i go in for the night. Ihave use it alot on oil pans is a metal prodruct. have to drain oil 2

Answer 2

The only way to be certain it will not leak is to have the hole welded closed. but if your gonna do that or pay to have someone do that then you might as well buy a new pan. I would try a product called liquid steel. It comes in a putty like form with a part A and B. It can be found at most auto stores or discount stores. It is worth a try but a new pan is the only way to go.

Answer 3

Is the oil pan metal or fiberglass? NAPA offers a repair kit for plastic water tanks, but I doubt it would help on a metal oil pan because it bonds about like fiberglass.
You could try welding or brazing the oil pan. It is almost impossible to braze something upside down, but someone who is exception with a wire feed may be able to help you. You could also try JB Weld, but you will have to drain the oil pan and burn off any oil in the hole with a torch. I would only use a torch on a metal oil pan. I would probably use a grinder on a fiberglass oil pan and try to repair with fiberglass.

Answer 4

You might try an expoxy Tho I wouldnt recommend that but hey ya goota go what ya goota do I have patched gas tanks the where leaking There are several different brands Chexk with an auto parts store and make sure you keep a fewextra quarts of oil at all times and try not to drive it to much til you can get it fixed

Answer 5

if it is not very big take it to a welding shop and have them weld the hole shut then change your oil so any thing that gets in the pan will not just be circulatting around in your motor.
the welding shouldn't cost more than about $20 and you shouldn't have to take the pan off + it is a permenat fix

also J.B.weld will not stick to oil

Answer 6

yes there is you need 2 buy a concrete re-placer knockoff and place it over the hole unless it is bigger then a quarter size but if it is bigger then that try alot of foil but have hardener cast on it.

Answer 7

It really depends on how big the hole is--if it is small you can use a self threading screw in it.

Answer 8

steel weld putty from autozone-perfect for holes because it dosn't flow like epoxy

Answer 9

duct tape maybe

Answer 10

use bondo with lots of hardner....
