Default okay my gf's car broke anyone can help? oil pan has hole in it?

My gf bought a car and goes to get oil changed and apparantly there is a hole in it that someone jb welded closed. But it wont last long, so does anyone have any ideas for a whole like this how to fix it. Can it be patch welded like with a welder? Or plug it or what...its size of a halfdollar/quarter? Ideas

Or you could buy a pan from a junkyard. I think I paid about $80 for mine.

take it off and make sure you get the oil off the pan, or it'll be fun welding it

Just get a new pan and gasket from Honda. They are not that expensive.

The pan was probably plumbed for a turbo at one point! Maybe! I would just get a new one and a new gasket from honda, not really expensive!
