pinhole in oil pan - temporary fix?
Oil pan has a pin hole leak just above and to the left of the drain
plug. It has a pit about a 1/16" in diameter where its leaking from.
The hole itself is not visible to the eye.
Any one successfully fix a leak like this while the pan is still on
the truck?
I was thinking about drilling through and putting a sheet metal screw with sealant on it... catching chips if lucky with a magnet.
Any liquid metal type products that can be applied to a vertical surface?
Recently replaced the rear main seal,oil pump and oil pan gasket.
Will replace the oil pan once I catch up (7/4/2010?) ...
Thanks for any help,
