I hit a median and put a hole in the oil pan of my car listed above.
The engine shut off immediately, and I pushed it to a parking lot where I used epoxy to repair the hole. I made sure all the oil was drained, cleaned it well and waited until next day to attempt to crank it. I was having problems starting it due to needing to replace the O2 sensors and have been saving money to purchase them.

Hi Cmurat68,

So what is the issue now? Does it still not start or are you worried about the hole?

Unless it was a pin hole the epoxy will not hold up long. Is the pan dented?

Just clarify for me what the current issue is and we can go from there. Thanks
