How bad is the hole? If just a pin hole, like from a rock, I have had
success by using a large short sheet metal screw, like a # 10 or #12 and
putting a small O ring under it and screwing it in tight.
However, my son had an oil pan with a number of holes in it and it was
necessary to completely replace it.

Subject: Patching an oil pan
Anyone have any ideas on how to patch a rust hole in an oil pan w/o
removing the oil pan. It's on a
93 ranger pickup and the manual says I have to lift the engine up a few
inches and remove portions
of the front axle. Seems pretty complicated. I'm hoping there is another
way.
