That shows there is more than one way to stop a leak!

Vise grip! not channel lock.

How bout sealing the leak The easy way??

I used this method to seal a half dozen leaks from a poorly replaced hogs head for a customer.

Get your shop vac hose fit into oil filler. Small hose. Wrapping a folded shop rag around the nozzle will work. A perfect seal isnt required or desired. Single valve cover doors need to have the throttle rod holes plugged also. Turn it on. Spray some brake cleaner where you think the leak is. Watch the liquid suck in. Spray thoroughly area to clean. Squirt/push some ultra black silicone into the gap/crack. Let it suck in. Shut off the vac. Let it dry over night.
You can go all around the pan, sealing each leaky spot/area.

My 89 year ol brain has a glitch every now and then. That is indeed a cheap vise grip. That vacuum trick is great Model T thinking!! I like it!

Oh contrare that looks like a pare of Irwin vise grips best money can buy. My Father inlaw saved a mans life with a pare of those
