47-55.1 Chasing annoying oil leaks

[dsraven]

brazing is sorta like soldering with a little more heat. it's relatively easy.
if using bronze/brass you will know if it's too hot because it will fizz up and smoke a lot, like throwing water on a hot grille. try it on some scrap metal of about the same thickness first. it's pretty easy actually. it will likely leave some shiny flux on top of the brazing puddle when cool. it's just the flux component which will chip off easily.
first get the oil pan straightened out like you want it. then clean it, then you're ready.
