ok guys I go outside to start my car and I notice this huge pile of liquid underneath it.....I look and sure enough its dripping oil from the pan. well I got under there and found a hairline crack on it.

anyways I think im just gonna get an oilpan from mckinney but I was wondering if anyone else has had to change theirs before....if you have....

where did you get it?how much? how long did it take to ship?

also does anyone know of any temporary fixes so I dont have to keep putting oil into it everday while I wait for the new one to get here.

thanks for the help guys

i had a puncture on my last rb20 oil pan---jb weld did the job and never leaked again. you need to clean the surface before applying.

that would help with proper bonding. be sure to clean off the oil.
