You can find some pretty cheap welders on there used and there is always the YesWelder option.

I’m guessing screwed is the answer, if your engine oil pan is leaking then… Damn, that really sucks. I’ve been running a bunch of high mileage oil and stabilizer, with oil leak stop formulas that swell seals. Most of that stuff probably helped barely, but I guess it’s better than nothing.
I guess it could be worse…. I’ll just make sure to clean up if possible, whenever I’m underneath the car. My AN fittings for the thermostatic oil feed, have been seeping oil a teeny bit, so I tightened them down a lot; all while trying not to over-tighten, since everything’s made of aluminum! 😬
The only other mess I’ve been having to clean or see as an eyesore, is either clutch dust coming out from the bell housing vents (by the clutch/flywheel area), and the little gaps between the bell housing and engine, where brake fluid trickles down through, when you go to bleed the clutch slave cylinder..
