leaking oil pan

Hi, I'm Steve and new here. I just bought a '95 T100 3.4L 4WD ext. cab and can,t get the clock to work... But seriously, I just JB welded a slightly visible, but steadily leaking, hole near the drain plug of the oil pan w/ a nickel sized piece of flashing. Since the oil pan is a bit of work to replace and too tight to epoxy entirely on the truck, I'd like to ask the forum if they have had any luck with POR 15 rust stopping paint. I could brush that on where there is blistering. Most of pan still is painted, so I would like to know if I can paint the whole pan even thought POR 15 is supposed to adhere to rust and not so much to non-rust surfaces. I am basically asking if I can ignore the POR 15 recommendations and still have successful results. I don't own an internet, but I can borrow others at least every couple of days to respond. Thanks and nice to meet you, Steve

There are 2 fuses that control the clock. One fer operation and the other fer display. I'm gonna guess the CIG and DOME fuses...one of those are blown. ;)

If yer putting POR-15 on one spot...you'd better give the entire truck a good look over...especially on top of the gas tank where the fuel pump lines come out. It's notorious fer rusting/leaking there... :(

I think I'd go with a high temp paint after you put some of that rust converter paint on it first. ;) But clean up that pan really well with some solvent...and wear yer safety glasses/goggles! :D

Thanks, I was just joking about clock, but lcd is messed up. I'll stick one over it. I have a newer gas tank and lines, and I chipped off any rust back from transfer case crossmember and, on a dry day, sprayed used oil with an artistic glaze sprayer on all exposed metal. Upon ramping up the front, I notice replaced power steering lines, but one ready to go? Probably the return line. I use brake cleaner many times and got rid of oil before I applied the epoxy. I'll do the same for the paint. I'm going to test the "weld" tomorrow, A day before I work. Thanks, Steve
