Technical Oil sump repair

[dog tagged]

My 2003 punto has had an oil leak from holes in the oil sump
Ive tried to fill the holes with Petro Patch and Plumber's Mait but still leaking oil. Other than forking out for a replacement can anyone suggest how to stop the leaks? Would quik-steel or jb-weld epoxy work?

Remove abd weld I would think would be best
But its off and probably just as cheap to just replace

Since 2 repairs aint worked id just replace it

Jb-weld can work on sumps but..
You need sump totally empty.. clean area first and allow good time to set..

Trouble is with pun to sumps is once you got one leak sorted they start to weap from other places.. the metal is very poor..

In the long run its best to replace.. treat this as a temp bodge if sealing it with jb weld etc..
