[redline_13000]

Can i fix this by putting a piece of metal over the crack and jb welding it? or do i need a whole new one? thanks

DONT WELD SHIT!!

get a new one, check around pick your part or bucks auto parts, they should be able to help, last time,at bucks i saw 89 crx with the engine still in it!!but i never checked the oil pan if it was still there..

wheres the leak?

[boi-alien]

you sure it's the oilpan itself and not the gasket?

if he needs to cover the whole and weld it then i'm guessing it's obvious

No kidding. And I agree with everyone, don't weld, get a new one.

glue??, just get silicone from like canadian tire or som place
1) take out oil pan
2) with a razor scraper or exacto knife, remove all the old gasket or silicone
3) apply silicone all around, dont miss any spot, then bolt on tightly

i dont think its that easy to find, and its a crack in the actual piece, probably from bottoming out

just look around , if u cant find it then go to Auto Value, they are always cheaper the most places

i looked underneath today, looks like the leak is coming from the drain bolt. Its tightened all the way though, what can i do?

Get a new bolt, or buy a rubber washer and replace the old one.
