Can You Fix a Big Hole In an Oil Pan?

We have a '94 Ford Escort that we take up in a field and hit Huge Bumps with. We noticed a 4 or 5 inch hole in the oil pan will duct tape do the job?Can You Fix a Big Hole In an Oil Pan?
Duct tape might do the trick. At least until you put oil back in the pan.


The only ';fix'; would be to remove the pan, use a hammer to to get the metal back in shape and have it tig welded professionally.


It'd probably be cheaper to get one at a junkyard.Can You Fix a Big Hole In an Oil Pan?
No, you have to replace it. And if you hit something so hard as to put that large of a hole in the pan, you probably damaged the crankshaft too which spins very close to the bottom of the pan, as well as the oil pump.
No. You need an oil pan. You can get one from a junk yard. What surprises me is that your car is not already in the junk yard.
If the hole is that big, you will need to replace the oil pan. You can get one in a junkyard pretty cheap.
sure that and chewing gum two wire hangers might help also no you buy a new one cant repair oil pan
I hope this is a joke, but if it is not NO!!! You cannot repair the hole in an oil pan. It must be replaced.
replace the oil pan with another one.
you would have to clean it then put the tape on otherwise the heat will burn it off
Bubblegum, and bailing wire works good.
