Quick Fix for Oil Pan Leak? I have a oil leak on my 91' Camaro RS 5.0TBI.
Its leaking from the bottom of the pan, It has rusted through and leaks about a half a quart a day.
My question is can I buy something to put on there that will stop the leak or at least slow it down. I just want a temp fix, till I get time to rock the engine and pull out the old pan and replace it.
I didn't know if anyone has tried any epoxy's or anything else that might work.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

If you want to keep the car running just replace the pan, if it's rusted that much one stick or roadkill hits it and bye bye oil pan and whatever you stuck on it./soapbox
PS: JB weld...mix it up and let it set up for like 10 min before you trowel it on
drain oil first
