 We once repaired a holed oil pan with Permatex blue while on a camp trip. The owner drove the car for several years with the replacement pan in the trunk but never installed it because the repair never leaked.

Jack up the left side of the car as high as possible to drain oil out of the lower cam cover.  Clean the area well with acitone or naptha after removing any paint. Any oil in the crack or hole needs to be removed. Let dry.

Dab on the blue with up and down motion to check adhesion. Smear to a pleasing profile and let dry overnight.

Good luck!
