Slowxr6t Member 515 Member For: 5y 4m 16d Location: New zealand Posted 06/09/21 07:16 AM Share Posted 06/09/21 07:16 AM 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.

Edit: it's probably residual oil from your leaking turbo drain. Edited 06/09/21 11:55 AM by Puffwagon Why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered a genuine ford seal. Any tips for a successful no leak seal and pulley install?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
