So anyway, I've always had this tiny oil leak from where they tapped into the oil pan for the S/C.
Apparantly didn't do a very good job with the hole because it appears they just pushed the tube into the hole and tried to seal around that. Now it's a pretty good leak and I'm losing about 1 quart every few hundred miles.
So my question is, what would you guys do with this hole?
I was thinking maybe put a bolt/nut in it, but I don't know how well that will seal.
I'm just trying to avoid getting a new pan from the states...

I got rid of the web site, I got them on my computer now. The old car is now sold to tropictour, and I am working on getting my super charger back and running. a local shop is doing some planning on the jackshaft. something to help it from moving so much (which causes the super charger to f up, or the jackshaft to strip... whatever its called).
I can get you them if you wish just PM me.
