Oil pan crack?
I'm assuming the part that holds the drain bolt is the oil pan? Well anyway, it cracked right at the drain bolt and is now slowly leaking. Is this something that can be welded? Its a very thin crack. The local dealership gave me a quote of 805.19 which is not gonna happen. I can't seem to find a used oil pan for the ap2 motor.
What do you guys think?

The oil pan is thick aluminum so it is weldable. It will have to come off and be very, very clean before it can be welded. Take it to a good welding shop versed in TIG.

You will need to pull the pan to weld it. At that point, it is not worth it. replace the oil pan. Someone overtorqued the plug, plain and simple.
Where do you live? I have used oil pans as do other members.

I purchased a used for 80 shipped, not bad. I guess after I pull the old one I'll have my buddy weld it and see if anyone wants to purchase it cheap. And it was over-torqued by yours truly. I wasn't using a torque wrench and I really didn't feel like I was forcing it... oh well, lesson learned
