        First off, JB Weld is NOT as the name implies, "weld". We tend to forget this at times. It is a structural adhesive (and a darn good one at that!) and can be used (with limited success) to repair broken castings, etc. It will NOT repair a gasket leak. The leakage is occurring due to a bad gasket or irregularities on the mating surfaces. Covering the site of the leak will only allow the oil to search for an alternate route, which it will find, and you'll be left with a bunch of structural adhesive attached to your cases that you now have to remove when you do change the gaskets. Bad move. Buy the gaskets. Remove the parts. Replace the gaskets. Now; don't you feel better?

          Where's it leaking from? Gaskets are cheap, the engine doesn't have to come out.
          Do it in your spare time over the winter.
          No brainer.
