my front oil pan bolt was stripped so i decided to take some pliers and force it off. while trying to move the bolt the pliers put a very small hole in the oil pan (bolt still did not come off). please tell me there is something i can patch this with! if i can patch it is this a relatively safe option? man i really don't want to have to get a new oil pan $$$

please let me know what ya'll think.

Try to clean the area really good and use some JB Weld. It should hold as there is not really any pressure behind it.

I have patched pinholes by putting some epoxy on the head of a sheet metal screw then threading the screw into the hole.
