Well, I Jb welded it. Looks like everything is good for now. It's been two days and no leak. It still leaks a little around the drain bolt, not sure quite how to fix that. I put a new bolt in and teflon washer. Hopefully it will hold up for a few years and I won't ever have to worry about replacing the pan.

I originally thought that the oil was coming from the bolt, so i bought a new bolt with the washer and put that on today and cleaned off the oil pan. The leak appears to be coming from just above and a little to the left of the bolt.
Is there any way to fix this without replacing the oil pan? I'm not really that mechanically inclined how much will it cost to have a shop put on a pan if there is no other way to fix it. It's just a small leak and i can live with it i guess, but it's making a mess on the road where i park it. It's a 93 f150, 5.0 liter, 4x4.
