oil pan repair

i just got the 3.4 dropped into my s10 tonight. filled it with oil. started a small leak at the drainplug. tightened drainplug, looked at it. its got a couple of pinholes from where the pan was crushed somehow.
what i need to do is repair the pinholes.
i really dont want to pull the engone back out to get the oil pan swapped out. that would make me even more discouraged than i already am.

anyone have any experience repairing these? its steel, but i cant weld.
 
my thought was to clean it really good, get all the paint off, scuff it with 80 grit to give some texture, and JB weld the hell out of it. dont know if this will work, though.

let me know what to do to repair it.

thanks
michael

it probably would work, if done correctly.

There is some epoxy putty specifically for sealing gas tanks and the like, most auto repair places should have it, it's called quicksteel or something similar. I've used it on a gas tank before when I didn't want to have to drain and purge it.
