How big is the hole? If it's fairly small, drill it out and tap it for a tapered pipe plug- - - -lots more likely to seal than any sort of patching compound since it will be impossible to get the oil to stop dripping and keeping the epoxy from sticking. If it's a big hole use a scab patch of 1/4" aluminum plate, a piece of rubber gasket material, and a bunch of sheet metal screws, and be prepared for a few slow drips.
