Has anyone had a leaky sump, my fgx xr6t sump appears to have a leak in the bottom seam of the sump, it appears to have hairline cracks about the seam right up the front of the sump. I was thinking of getting it alloy welded by an engineer. Or would that be a bad move and destroy it? Could it be jb welded or anything? Thanks guys.

Anyone have an opinion on above post?

Clean it and confirm it.

 

Edit: it's probably residual oil from your leaking turbo drain.

Why not?

Yeah any oil leaks tend to dribble down and collect there so definitely worth doing what Puff suggested to confirm

After further inspection, I found it's a leaky crank pulley seal, I will replace it soon when I install new ATI balancer and atomic flexplate. I've ordered a genuine ford seal. Any tips for a successful no leak seal and pulley install??

You'll need a small gear puller and dont forget to put some sealant on the back of the crank bolt washer.
