oil leak (help)

[Juggalo88Accord]

so my accord has had a leak for the oil pan drain plug and i know i need a new oil pan but have no money right and have had no luck finding a good one at the junk yard.so i was just thinking that for a quick fix untill i can get the money for a new pan i could just seal it up with somthing.cause the car leaks a little more than a quart a day and it was geting way to costly so the cars just been siting and iv had to drive my brothers camaro that dosent get nearly as good of gas milage than the honda.so what do u think i should uses to seal the leak up?

You're leaking from the drain plug? Get a new crush washer. Its a 14mm washer, copper or aluminum will work.

If it is bad threads, drain oil, clean drain hole with solvent, use oil resistant sealant. This is only temp.

You can have it welded permanently and use a pump to change oil thu the dip stick.

ya the threads got striped i took it to an express lube and got screwd over and waited to long to be able to get them to pay for the problem

[russiankid]

In that case you can get a thread insertion for now or do as nswst8 said.

Use a well nut from your local hardware store. http://www.emhart.com/products/pop/wellnut.asp
Most auto parts stores sell a type of well nut just for stripped oil pan threads.

Man you can buy one of those Universal Oil plugs its tappered so when u tighten it, it makes a good seal and its made so if u fuck up your treads by mistake...works good but for like 3 bucks

Don't cheap put and get an aftermarket oil pan. My brother made this mistake when he got a new one for my Accord(used to be his). We redid the oil pan gasket 8 times until I got tired of it and got a Honda pan. So far, it seeps a little bit oil and thats my mistake.
