alright... that's some good info. that link that you have posted...

I might just buy that alumnium bung and have that welded. I could weld it in but I'd have to drive 30mins just to get to the welder, plus it's a mig so the weld wouldn't be as clean. Instead I'm going to take it to school and have one of my friends in the hy-po welding class tig it for me.
Thanks a lot for the info!

before you buy an aluminum bung. is the pan aluminum or steel? b/c you cant weld steel to aluminumso your better off getting the steel bung and welding it to the Steel pan.

Drill a hole and find a nut that will thread onto the return line fitting. Then weld it on. Heres what I did.

Alright... yeah I can see if you don't get good penetration why it would leak. One of the biggest things about welding is penetration. Tig is a lot better if you do it right. With braising it just fills the gaps,it doesn'tneccessarily penetrate.
