Can i use solder to stop a leaky oil pan?

does the oil and oil pan get hot enough to make the solder remelt?Can i use solder to stop a leaky oil pan?
I would not suggest it as a permanent fix. It would have to be very clean or it wouldn't stick, and there's a good chance it would not completely seal even then.





Surely you can find a replacement that's in better shape at the local auto recycling yard. With that, and a new gasket, you can solve your problem with less work and risk.Can i use solder to stop a leaky oil pan?
Solder is mostly lead, and does not have enough strength to stand up to the vibrations coming from your engine.





So the concern is not about heat, but about vibration cracking up your artwork and making it fall out.





Have you considered a repair with epoxy? That is leakproof, bonds well, and flexible.
It would work ok if the pan was off the car. The easiest way to do it would be to drain the oil, scuff the area with sandpaper, clean the area with carb cleaner or other solvent that doesn't leave a residue, apply a layer of J.B. Weld. The kwik set would be best if using it upside down. You can sand and apply more layers if you think it's necessary. Paint the area when you're finished.
it would be better to weld or braze the crack. no, the oil don,t get that hot to melt it. or like the person said above me. take the pan off, clean it good and use some jb weld on it. i did that before. you might be able to do it while the pan is still on the car. just drain the oil and fix it.
Oil pans are generally cast aluminum. I seriously doubt you could get solder to stick. The best bet is to have it TIG welded. But that doesn't always take either because cast aluminum is extremely hard to weld.
I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you can't replace it, brazing it would work better.
