    A garage should be able to weld it up for you for a small fee.. Head to a small garage not a dealer..

    I used to hit mine alot and burst it and the local garge would fix it in 10 mins...

    Did you run the car for long with no oil? You could be looking at replacing more than the sump

    No I noticed it before the oil ran out and stopped driving the car. Thanks for the help guys!:)

    I'm sure you could get a sump is a scrapyard fairly cheap.

    Easy thing to replace too. Few bolts, a new gasket, and some gasket sealant and away you go.

    A second hand sump wouldn't be expensive. How badly did it leak though?

    If your engine was run for any length of time with low oil pressure the damage will have started.

    I imagine replacing the sump on your car is a straightforward enough nuts and bolts job. having said that, on my old BMW, the engine had to be raised to get the sump off, as there wasn't enough clearance otherwise! Strange but true.
