No one will actually see it, As long as it seals up, you should be fine. But if you can get a new one cheap, get it.

JB Weld sucks. I tried that and it broke loose and leaked the first time I tried to torque the line down. I just did it right and got an aluminum fitting welded in. Cost me $35 incl the fitting, but I don't have to worry about it now.

The oilpan is made out of aluminum?? :-X
A friend of mine welded a steel pipe on one for his oil return and added some JB-weld around it.
It's holding up fine though....
