Temporary fix needed!
Hi Guys,
I have a very very small hole on one of the welds for my shortened sump. I know that it will have to be taken off and repaired at some point via
welding.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to a temporary fix for stopping the oil leak until I can get it fixed?
Cheers

Rub a bar of soap into the hole (it blocks the hole long enough to repair), then wipe clean and cover with epoxy 
It worked as a temporary fix for us to get us the couple of hundred miles home 3 years ago (ours was quite a bad one) it's still there, leak
free

If it's a round pin hole in a weld then a dot punch works.
Balming goo all over it just makes it hard work for the welder.
