MAC Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I used QuikSteel™ Epoxy Putty the over the weekend on a leaking oil pan. So far, it looks to be working--but I will try to check the pan this weekend and report the results. I used one full tube to seal the front and around to right side. I removed the oil filter and then clean oil and grime from the pan where the epoxy was to be applied. I used a small wire brush, brake cleaner and paper towels. I didn't sand/roughen the surface, which is probably advisable but the report to date is the epoxy is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jking220 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 We sealed a hole in the oil pan of a 93 Taurus that was caused by a rock (supposedly women drivers ) with some JB Weld... which seems like the same type of thing that you used, and the pan never leaked again, but we cleaned and roughed the surface rather well. Good luck with the repair. Jonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Jim Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I had completely forgot about fixing a small hole in a gas tank with JB Weld. Ten years later, when I sold the car... it had never leaked a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
