sump replacment

[col2560]

has anyone here replaced a sump before? how hard a job is it, and how much for a new / 2nd hand sump?
looks like the owner before me scraped it over something like a gutter and its leaking slowly from near the drain plug. i could weld it up, but if its out i might as well replace it.

thanks

Dgrease it first then run to normal temp to see if that where leak is as it must just be where it has ended up dripping, could be washer over bolt or something from blok/heads

And if it sump they are easey to replace

took the sump out today while i had the car up on stands replacing the engine mounts. job was as follows;

had to remove the starter motor and exhaust to access all the bolts. i just dropped the exhaust from the manifolds and let it hang down.
there are 2 bolts closest to the flywheel that proved awkward to reach with a socket, had to use a tube spanner. i replaced these 2 bolts with stainless cap screws so next time i just use an allen-key.

after cleaning the sump i could see the metal was split from the dent, so i just brazed it over.
