    Had a tech put too long of a bolt back into the oil pan that bolts into the flywheel housing and cracked the aluminum causing it to leak onto the clutch. Anybody ever had luck Tig welding one of these and have it stop leaking?

    Its a cast part. I'm sure it could be done in qualified hands. Not on the truck though.

    If its removed any good shop could do it. Ive had engine blocks welded sucessfully before.
    I though it was aluminum on a normal one but only cast on a REPTO?
