There's viscous fluid running out of the hole in my unit.
Here's my unit:
The viscous fluid is on the floor.
I have a pin-hole in the oil pan, any ideas on how to seal it?
I was thinking RTV or JB Weld or something along those lines.
I have another oil pan ready to go on, I just don't wanna buy gaskets, the motor is literally a zero-dollar build up, trying to keep with that theme

Dude, you might want to be careful how you word your "topic". I was almost afraid to open it!

No need Ed, I have an extra oil pan from the 400 just sitting here, and I got uncles that can weld.
That reminds me, you don't have a portable MIG do you? Cause I need some welding on the off-road Caprice.
