- 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

- I have successfully used JB Weld for this on a car that we couldn't buy a new oil pan for. Drain the oil. Clean it up the best you can. ~Paul

- 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

- Thanks to all who responded. I will try the JB weld. Suggestions on what to use to clean the outside of the oil pan? Maybe denatured alcohol, Laquer thinner, POR-15 Marine Clean, brake cleaner? What

- Just make sure you get as much oil off as possible. I would use the five Bill

- Pop-rivet a metal patch on with some JB Weld slathered on the area??? Any real welding would not go well with the residual oil. -Wayne

- If the hole is on the bottom of the pan you might have trouble getting liquid epoxy to stay in place. I've had success patching mufflers with the stick epoxy-steel stuff (JB Weld makes it, too). Sand
