Cracked Aluminum Oilpan - Repair or Replace?

There are epoxy repair products that will satisfactorily cure this problem. Devcon, J-B weld are two. The trick to success is the preparation of the crack. ALL trace of oil must be removed and the area ground perfectly clean before the epoxy is applied. Because of liability problems, few pros will be willing to do this, so it’s a do-it-yourself project. But done right, it will last the life of the car.
