: Oil pan leak

I noticed a small leak coming from the dip stick tube area of my oil pan.

Seems like it's coming from the welded on area but I guess it could be from the tube itself.

New oil pan time or some other solution?

When I dropped my pan to redo gasket the O-ring for the dipstick tube was flattened and hardened. I matched up one at the hardware store on reassembly.

JB-Weld maybe ???

I'll check the o-ring, didn't know it had one. Maybe the tube is coming out.

If it's cracked I guess I'll try RTV or JB-weld for now.

Thanks
