pinhole in oilpan
I found the leak in my car, there is a pinhole in the side of my oilpan. Is there a way to patch his up without having to remove the oilpan? Its a very small hole but its leaking a significant amount of oil so it needs to be patched or whatever.

You could clean it up and try JB Weld or RTV. If it doesn't work you're not really out anything.

JB weld it. Drain the oil first. Then clean it up really good with sandpaper and follow up with a degreaser. Dish soap or the like. Make sure it's free of any soap residue or grease so the jb weld has something to stick to.
I did this several years ago after somebody poked a bunch of holes in my oil pan. Held up fine ever since.
