It is a pinhole opening I am sure but the surrounding metal is shot
over a space the size of a quarter or larger. I had thought of using a
screw with a rubber washer, but since the surrounding metal is in such
poor condition, I was afraid the screw might pop out sending a stream
of hot oil with it until I lost all 5 quarts in the bilge!


I was just curious at how the oil pan got in such miserable shape...
