The oil pan of my car is leaking. Does any body know if I can stop the leak with a glue gun?

I am assuming the oil pan doesn't get hot therefore the glue will not melt, or does it?The oil pan of my car is leaking. Does any body know if I can stop the leak with a glue gun?
try tightening the pan bolts down some to see if the leak stops and if not you will have to replace the gasket under the pan, glue wont work.The oil pan of my car is leaking. Does any body know if I can stop the leak with a glue gun?
HAHHA!, Serious? Let me put it to you this way, any thing basically touching the engine will get hot, just a matter how hot, But being that the ';Oil'; pan holds the substance that reduces friction (which creates heat) The Oil and pan are one of a couple of things that are the hottest things on a engine, so it's safe to say household glue will not hold a oil leak.





What you need





1. Replace the pan or gasket.





2. depending on the leak, there is some items that can seal or patch a oil leak, (not recommend for a long term solution) However these products are designed for ';High Temperatures'; Ex. JB Weld has been know to patch a few cracks and leaks in engine components such as oil pans.





However based on your question I recommend you Replace the cracked pan or gasket that is causing the leak.





Good Luck
First,check all the nuts are correctly tightened up,if that does,nt work you will have to drain the engine oil remove the sump pan and old gasket,clean and check the gasket surfaces and fit a new gasket.It would be cheaper to have it done along with a service.Which would mean you have your engine oil and filter changed at the same time and all liquid levels checked,then its only off the road once.
not a good idea. If you don't want to change the gasket you might be abel to lossen a few of the bolts surrounding the oil pan and fill it with gasket sealer. It might fix it but there is always a chance it will make it worse.
no no no have to get new pan gasket try tightening the bolt but not to tight it may slow it or stop it all it also works the same with auto trans pan . and yes the oil pan get very hot it will melt
Only way to stop the oil pan leak is to install a new gasket. If the leaking area is perfectly clean and dry (not likely), a glue gun MIGHT help slow down the leak, but don't bet on it.
not a glue gun ! if you have a small hole then use jb weld. if it,s leaking around the gasket then change it. the oil pan gets hotter then you think.
the oil pan will get to hot for glue.I would drain the oil then ruffn it up with sand paper,and apply auto body filler,,like bondo.It must be free of oil,It worked for me
no you can not fix it with a glue gun
glue wont stick to oil. but they make a external epoxy that works good.
No
