    I'm sure there's a few various methods but mine was brazed up carefully when I found oil spew constantly on the garage floor. There's a few threads around here on the subject.

    Where is it leaking from? I noticed that I had a small leak on my oil tank but it was a bad gasket for the oil level sending unit.

    Could you post some pics so we could see it?

    You might just let a radiator shop take a look at it. They can do great work on tanks of all kinds.
