    I have a pinhole size leak on the bottom of my 99 Stratus oil pan. Not
    a huge one, but a mess none the less. I would rather not spend the $
    for a new pan (high miler,etc.,) Any suggestions on a repair? : Epoxy,
    JB Weld,etc., Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    How about a short self-tapping sheet metal screw with some kind of a
    gasket washer

    I'd sort of wonder where the leak came from -- is the rest of the bottom
    of your pan about to rust through?

    Is this an aluminum pan or a steel one?

    Steel.
    Yes. There is one obvious spot, but other areas look suspicious. I'm
    looking at a short term (maybe a year), low cost fix. Thanks.
