Repairing a rusted oil pan

[Jonathan Farrugia]

you could drill and tap it and put a bolt in it or, you could put a short
self drilling sheet metal screw in the hole.  on both you might want to
use a neoprene washer for added leak protection.  i all kind of depends on
what is on the other side of the oil pan inside.  i'm assuming open air
here but, i have no clue.
