JB weld will do the trick, however, for this to work properly you will have to make sure there is absolutely NO OIL RESIDUE or paint where the crack is needing repair. This may present a problem, one must drain the oil, obviously, clean and prepare the area that needs the weld, then give it a try......

I used JBweld to fix a gas tank leak on a VW Rabbit I had many years ago, had a leak at the fuel outlet nozzle, fixed it beautifully.....

Personally, I would be looking for another pan...............

perhaps it is time to head to the boneyard.

Also I looked at online parts stores for an oil pan gasket. Your car doesn't have one. Instead, it takes RTV sealant. Be sure to clean the engine and oil pan EXTREMELY well, or the RTV sealant will leak. Also, you may have to let your car wait 24 hours so the sealant can cure. Then you can put oil in it.

Always read the directions on the container of RTV, and never apply too much, otherwise bits of gasket will get into the oil pump and cause trouble.
