Post Sealing dipstick port
I'm about to drop my oil pan to replace my rear main seal. The piece that's riveted into the oil pan to accept the dipstick leaks a decent amount between that part and the pan itself. What's the best way to re-seal it? Drill the rivets and use RTV or can it be welded without warping the pan?

If you are going to drill out the rivets I'd make a gasket for it. I think it could be welded fairly easily.

Couple of guys over on CB.com suggested brazing it. That might be the ticket, as the filler rod would wick between the two parts in a way that a weld wouldn't.

I have this same problem. I was just considering welding the hole shut with a piece of sheet metal. Or just a new pan w/o said port...
