"There's a hole in my sump, Delilah, Delilah,
There's a hole in my sump, Delilah, a hole"
Getting ready to put a new motor in my 300 24 valve 129. Noticed an oil lake under the trolley. Lifted it with the crane to find a minir hole in the sump. I suspect theres been a wee bit of gravel or whatever when we've moved the engine about.
Obviously I have a spare sump on the engine coming out but the logistics are a right hassle. My garage is only so big!
Anyone got experience of welding up sumps without removal? I suspect I know the answer, but it's worth the ask...
Cheers
