Hi There, Depending on the damage to the oil pan, it may need to be replaced. Typically, when fixing them, they must be welded in order to properly ensure that they do not continue leaking. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and inspect the oil pan to determine the best way to correct the leak.
