Oil pan leak. Not the gasket or drain plug. Have a leak off the bottom of oil pan due to corrosion. Small drip & keeping an eye on oil level. Short of replacing the oil pan, any suggestions on pluging a small hole until I can get it into the garage. Thanks

Clean the area real good and put some putty in the hole. then cover it all up with JB weld. Should hold up for a while, may not be pretty but it stopped the leak on my transfer case. Hope that helps.
