Cracked oil pan...JB Weld?
Being Christmas time I am a little short on and just scraped my oil pan enough on a bumpy raod to cause a small crack/tear in the pan which leaks about every second when warm and about 1/4 qt a day when cold. My question is will jb weld be sufficient for a couple weeks or do I just bite the bullet and buy a new pan...and new front shocks since they are the reason for the low ground clearance.

My thinking is if your going to be holding out for a few weeks to get a new pan I would just bite the bullet now.
But I have used JB weld to seal a nasty cracked wheel. If you do it right it is as good as actual weld.

In diesel school, one of my buddies had a long crack in the oil pan on a 4020 John Deere. He just cleaned it out in the parts washer, spread JB weld on the inside and outside, and it's still holding 4 years later

JB weld should get you by for a few weeks. Just make sure it is clean and dry. When you get the pan off, you may not need to buy a new pan, you may be able to have it welded or repaired. This would be a lot cheaper than a new pan.
