JB weld will work. To do it right, you need to drain the oil out of the pan. Thoroughly clean and lightly sand the area to be patched. Put on a thin layer of JB weld. Let it dry for 24 hours then put another layer on. Let that dry 24 hours more before you put oil back in the car.

 

Steve91 is correct. I just want to restate the importance of draining the oil before you patch it though. When jb weld is still liquid, it will actually absorb any oil, making it pourous and prone to leaks. If you make sure its clean and dry before hand, it will make a perfect patch. Remove the oil pan if possible before you patch it.
