The problem with using anything on the outside is the oil that is still in the leak--you can't get the outside area oil free so nothing will stick. It would take years of sitting with an empty oil pan with the plug out for all the oil to seep down. I suppose one could let it sit over winter and then use heat to burn any residue away. But.........like I said, with what little it drips, it is way down on my project list.
