So here's the deal...When replacing my turbo, the oil return line was ripped out of my oil pan (because the previous owner had it on there with epoxy or something. ) Now there is a hole that is about a half centimeter to a centimeter bigger than the hose fitting that is supposed to go in there. I think this is how it normally was and the oil pan itself did not get damaged, but I dont know how to get the hose fitting back into my oil pan and keep it there.

I would much prefer not to have to weld it, I do not have the tools or the ability to do this. I would have to remove my oil pan and take it to a shop, and I am trying to sell the car as soon as I can because we are moving.

Any ideas??

I would hit up a local junk yard and buy a used pan and be done. No rigging, just doin it the right way.
