I used it on a bung that was threaded into my oil pan for an oil return line. . . held up for the year that the car was boosted.

how big is the leak...i once had a hairpin size hole on my oil pan. I believe I used quicksteel, its held up for over 2 years plus it can withstand 500 degrees

my friend used it to patch a hole in his oil pan after slamming on the ground for the 1000th time. it worked well ( this was quicksteel actually)

right now my return line is leaking at the oil pan, ive got both regular jb weld and then additional quicksteel on it.

I too had a leak on my oil pan return line. I had my budyd tig weld an AN fitting and it was leaking a decent amount somewhere. I didn't know where so I gobbed JB weld around the welds all voer, let it set, then applied anotehr layer after that the next day. Been boosting for a while. it's perfect.
