I have a tranny case leak that needs a repair. Here is a pic of the leak, which when warmed up is about one large drop a second.
I figure that I should do a real weld for the permanent fix, but would like to do a temp fix so I can drive over to my welder brother-in law about a 100 miles away. So, what is the best liquid weld goop for this type of a hole (about 1-2 mm in diameter)? |

If the hole is small, say 1/8" just run a small tap in the hole to give it some teeth for the epoxy to grip. I've used Devcon Liquid Aluminum on a number of things including fixing a crack on a Triumph TR4 thermostat housing.
