mygame: Bros... Replace the friggin pan. If it is a steel pan, you might be able to weld it but how much is a pan anyways? A stress on metal that gets hot might lead to a bigger issue later on... Would you like having a caved-in sump in the middle of no where? |

I guess the best option will be to replace the entire oil pan- regardless the size of the leak. I bought my Ford focus from a guy that preferred "bandages" to replacement. It had a similiar oil leak problem; and informed me that he had welded the oil pan to no avail, and had since given up on the issue. I also noticed that the entire oil pan had been coated with epoxy as well. On scraping of this 'layer', I noticed the leak was from a tiny hole in the side. I quickly bought a new oil pan and the problem disappeared. My focus does not consume a drop of oil between changes. So just swap it out and prevent any headaches, bro. |
