Superglue oil leak fix

Yep, but if I get it from the yard I don't have to wait for it to be shipped. Instant gratification ;)

As a cheapskate, I would personally be more apt to drill and retap the old pan for a larger plug than to replace the whole pan. A new pan could be as much as ten or twenty dollars.

I considered it but I think that once I drilled out the helicoil-style repair insert, I would have to find a freaking huge tap and bolt. Like more than 21mm. The cost of the tap would be at least half the cost of a new pan. Of course if you already have the tap then that's a different story.

I think I might have been able to fix it by sealing the inside of the repair insert, either with RTV or JB Weld or something. But if I'm pulling the pan off anyway, I might as well spend the $20 on a new pan to make sure I don't have to pull it off yet again the next day.

I concur. Put a *new* or somesuch in there instead of fudging about with the leaking one. Labor is the issue here, not parts costs.

Sounds like you need an enema. FLEET is the brand I recommend, and it's inexpensive.

I second the recommendation. However, when I was a kid, one of the neighbors attempted to siphon gasoline from his tank with a vacuum cleaner. He was surprisingly uninjured although his hair was singed a little and the vacuum cleaner would never be the same again.

Isn't human skin porous? It bends nothing better than skin. :)

As far as a leak around the oil pan drain plug is concerned, just replace the oil pan (use a new gasket, of course). Inexpensive, plus a lot more reliable than any glue could ever be.

I had a friend some afternoons was by planes if you find a hole it's the holster usually the nose it's noisy or another is a crack what is anywhere it's suckles air ideally you want it too suck air for flights so to find a pinhole with a magnifying glass you class the plane and try a pilot , you find that in auto pilot as the base it rolls wheels so a bump or hit from air it must suck it not suckle and sometimes it's the destination , that stops the flow as before landing

So U mean RV sealant tried it on a water pump gasket it is weak there but another is the transmission it does there for awhile super glue could hold oil filter gasket to remain true to the product it's orobly only for a paper and corset brooch , let's get serious supergluing the radiator lid is good as sealing in heat from coolant and okay for other kids caps such as gaskets and not sealants so odds are superglue won't help with rubber only try and find out
