Too long ago - I don't remember the details, other than the steering link
had to come out. I doubt that the radiator/condenser had to come out. Check
the archives if you need to know for sure.

I thought we were talking about his '86 SDL - which would be an OM603 in a
126 chassis.

*“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry
Did the pan come out forward or backward? Did the radiator and condenser have
to come out?

You for sure can't remove a 693 oil pan in a 140.

I beg to differ, having done just that when the SDL slipped off the jack
and put a hole in the pan. Also, yes, it can be welded. The trick is to
keep the top surface flat during the process - not that easy. An
experienced welder did mine, and it held until Kleb got the car - don't
know the current
My gf son in law has an Audi he cracked the oil pan on. With the crankcase
empty, I poured a quart of lacquer thinner into the engine, and let it drain
through the crack. I then pulled the oil cap and plug, and let it air dry
(evaporate ) over night. I patched it with the permatex version of JB

If that epoxy was just slapped on top,
I see what you did there. ha ha.

I have used jb water weld with good results to fix oil pans.

That is probably

Removing the oil pan without pulling the engine is not possible.
There is a side-mounted "tank" (I can't think of the word right now) bolted
to the passenger side of the oil pan, which serves to increase the volume
of oil in the pan. If you remove that "tank", there will be a very small
opening

That is probably good for the macadam as it feeds it the needed
Welding thoroughly oil-soaked metal is difficult. It gets into the pores
and ruins the weld. How big is the hole? Could it be drilled and tapped,
and a JB-Weld-soaked screw run into it?
